Hi Tony, re: Greek column - there is actually a video tutorial on doing that in MoI here: http://bitreality.blogspot.com/

Also see the discussion thread about the video here:

The main thing is to make sure to use Join to glue together surfaces at their common edges, instead of just keeping them as separate totally independent objects.

When a mesh is created there is extra work done to ensure a watertight cohesive mesh generated at joined edges.

If you have just 2 independent surfaces sitting next to one another each one will get meshed separately and the meshes may not have the same vertex structure.

If that does not solve your problem could you maybe post an example file (simple if possible) that does not weld for you?
