I attempted all the methods described. I did a standard Transform, a 3d Card
set up and then a 3d scene set up. all three methods produced the same results.
I also included a Reformat set up to illustrate what I had initially done and
my problem of large plates... I hope this better helps any one in attempting to
help me solve this. I have gone toe to toe for two years with the Flame artist
at work. I just don't want this to be my downfall. THanks
