All,
Thanks again for all the input. I ended up with 3planit. I started with the tutorials but tossed those and went into the ‘LAYOUT’ mode. After about four frustrating hours everything is starting to come together. Chip pointed out that when elevations get changed, “everything falls to the floor”. I tried that but if you use end points and define the path in between using the PATH tool that is not the case. At least mine is stil on the bench.
Thanks agin for all the constructive input
Ernie
