Thank you both very much. I now feel like a total dipstick, lol. Never thought to change the file type, smacks self in forhead. My day will now go better. Great tutorial on the picture maker, loving that.

Hi Kristoffer, You need no script or anything to be able to make entries into the VCB. One suspicion however; don't click into it - just type as you model (see the typed numbers appear) and hit Enter. Your other question; there are no "native" SU tools to curve or bend eisting geometry - you'd rather create everything to have the final shape.
