Thanks for your consideration Michael - YES, I do believe I have the ghosted lines turned off - and I definitely didn't realize that I could select using the ghostings! If I had I prolly wouldn't have turned them off!

YES it would have been great having a network cap to those surfaces! Perhaps as you said, there might be something like this in the future.

I included the full picture in my post just to give you an idea of what it is I'm attempting to construct. Of course the picture has artist drawn perspective distortion (which in itself may not be accurate) but it was still easy for me to develop a decent rendition (imo) using the orthogonal views.

Being that this project is my way of teaching myself MOI, I'm sure if I were to do it all over again I'd do it much easier (it's always easier the 2nd time around!)

But yes, I believe that was the answer - if the shape has 3-4 curves on the end just attempt to network close them into a solid - that's certainly what I'm doing anyway!

Just a quick note - if you find yourself wanting to toggle hidden line display on or off frequently, put this command on a shortcut key:

script: /* Toggle hidden line display */ moi.view.showHiddenLines = !moi.view.showHiddenLines

EDIT: updated script to work with v2.
