Hi Don,
Thanks for the additional information, it is very
interesting. I am very interested in indoor DLG's, so
I am trying to understand what is working for others

Chris is a very good modeler and I am sure
whatever model or technique he comes to a contest with
he will be a contender.
Thanks,
Kurt
