After a little break I've found time to play around some more. I love the background image support Michael, it works great that you can bring them to the front and alter the transparency. I've made good use of the array tool as well, and it works very smoothly. This is a hydraulic connector I use at work for subsea connections up to 15,000psi and 10,000ft. I'll do all the threads as inserts because it really starts to bog down once you start adding alot of threaded fasteners and such, then all the pressure seals. Render in XSI.

Wow, that is a lot of detail in there, awesome!

Grendel, nice render. i am still waiting to see you model those weird deep-sea monsters that you must see on your job... :)

Thanks guys, here is the final exploded view with all the threaded fasteners and seals. I had to make three stacks since there were so many parts. One long view tended to obscure some of the details and suck a little too much. Sorry for the watermarks, this render is in Carrara.

Michael, you've created a great program and I'm eagerly awaiting v1.
