Yes, I guess I was having problems, thanks for correcting it! I have made progress and can now create things in MoI and render a heightmap in Anim8tor. It is a workable solution but the rendering in Anim8tor leaves 'freckles' which I cleaned up with a slight gaussian blur. Now since I know how to make use of the beuatiful thigns I can create in MoI on my carving machine I'll get busy learning with MoI. Thanks again everyone for your help.

Funny method before your carvermachine accept the import files !

...again, provided you own the CarveWright STL Importer...

(There is also a CarveWright dxf importer...)
