Thanks honoluludesktop. I'll try this and see I can get the result I'm looking for.

That's right, forgot completely about that since I typically provide the background in a render. Don't forget to select SU ground with no transparency. Sorry no foreground in the example. [image: tlco_temp.jpg]

What kind of components do you want tutorials on? The list is endless. Edit, beat me too it Dave.

What do you mean by "outlines"? Those fat lines? If so, open the Style dialog (Window menu), go to "In model" tab > Edit > Edge settings and uncheck profiles. If you want to hide the edges totally on the outlines only, that's not possible although you can uncheck them there as well to turn them off globally.
