I apologize for missing our meeting yesterday! At 10:00 a.m., I was all ready, but by noon different things at my house had grabbed my attention. I didn't realize I had forgotten the appointment until last night around 10:00 p.m. I'll have to set an alarm or something to remind me of the time. During last week, I reinstalled skeletons for all my damaged characters. I did save copies of damaged characters with foot targets that didn't work so that we could look at them if we wanted to figure out how to repair the foot targets. This seems to be a weak point of the skeleton A:M advises us to use. This has happened to my skeletons on about three different occasions. I use the same templates and morph them a lot, because it saves me from having to put in the user properties, and code the fingers, etc. Usually, everything goes well, but sometimes it doesn't. Then, it seems, there is no way to make a repair.
Well, anyway, sorry I missed our meeting and hope to see you around the forum. Have a great holiday!

Thanks, robcat2075, for your help on my 3-D Printing question. I wanted to thank you on the posting, but it was already in archives. I will inquire about the format you mentioned and see if the machine at the library can handle that. I may just take the orientation like you suggested and see what's they have available. Sometimes, an organization like the library has something in mind that most people might do, but there are more possibilities than they at first suggest. I'll have to see about that. I really appreciate your continued help in answering my questions. It took me a couple of years before I found the forum, but I don't see how I could have gone on from where I was without it. You, Fuchur, Rodney, and the many people who have commented on my questions have made my use of A:M possible. Thanks again!

I own version 18. I am not on an annual subscription. I went ahead and exported my model file at resolution 1024 to an .stl file. Everything seemed to work. It took about three or four hours, but that wasn't so bad. I guess I'm ready for the next step. It might take some time, but I'll see how hit goes.

Thanks. STL is working fine for me now. I used 1024 as my resolution. The only problem before that was with the 4___ resolution. I guess my computer wasn't ready for that. I have an appointment next week to go to the library to print out a model. We'll see how it goes. I seem to be the first one they have who has come forward with a file to print. They're just getting their feet under themselves also. I'll let you know if there are any problems that come up that might be problems for others also.

Thanks for your help on the 3-D printing question. I wanted to thank you on my posting, but somehow it ended up in archives 6 hours after it was posted, and I could not add any comment. Hope everything is going well for you. I'm trying to model Venice, Italy (actually St. Mark's Square and its immediate vicinity) for a segment of my story. There is a lot of intricate detail in the decoration on the buildings. A:M is rather difficult to use to model such detail. Anyway, that's what I have been doing for the last couple of months. You know a lot about A:M, and you also seem to use A:M in conjunction with other programs. How do you know how to combine programs and what will fit together?
