Hi Michael
I have found the easiest way to make anything is using moi. I had a look at Strata Design and even negotiating the view port was a challenge for me. I know this doesn't have to be the case because, although slightly different, the way used by both Moi and Simlab don't need any instructions. I think maybe part of my problem is that I am not making models for any purpose so I don't have any terms of reference to work to.

BTW I made the seat base/back and cushion using Max's SubD tools. The best cushion I made was one that I ported over to Sculptris but the number of triangles was enormous.

Many thanks
Keith
