Hi Brian,

> Am I miss interpreting what your meaning is of--"set up a blank model""??

Blank in this context just means "no objects".

So set up your styles as you want, but do not create any objects - then save out as a 3DM file. The file will contain no objects but it will contain a style list still.

When you set it as a template, that file will be loaded as the starting environment when you start up MoI or pick File / New.

You can have objects in there as well, if you always want some particular objects to be included in your environment when you start up MoI each time, but usually most people don't want there to be any objects in their model when they initially start the program, hence the "blank" part.

Thanks

Hi Brian, I'm still working on the release notes, won't have those ready until tomorrow.

Thanks guys, I had been wondering how to do just this thing.

Great stuff Michael G.! I noticed that you don't have to hold down the tab key while typing "merge" when merging edges. Much easier to use!

Thanks again for a great tool!
