I think something here can be set in preferences ... perhaps the number of decimal places ... I mostly use between four and ten but whatever. If the default value has been over written somehow to 0.0000000000 then maybe reload SP3 to re-write that. But I'm only guessing. Another dodge might be to open an old file that has the value as 0.1 then load without replacing your faulty file into it. Then, also you could delete everything and save the file as your start-up file. This too might reset that value.

I see the problem the default depth is set to 0.0. I use the numeric window so infrequently that I'd not noticed it. I am combing through the options window looking for a setting that would change this default back to 0.1 but I don't seem to find one. Is there one that you are aware of? And thanks, for your response Neil . . .

In Properties/Specs there will be the two radiuses and the wall height which you can change numerically ... then it will show in the viewport for you to stretch etc. But my guess is that you know all this and maybe you will need to reload SP3 which would be my course of action. Neil Cooke ----- Original Message ----- From: Keirn Hilleary To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 12:51 PM Subject: Cylinder Creation Failure I think I need a reality check here . . . I am running 5.x SP3 and I just happened to notice that, either I or Real3d has forgotten how to create a simple analytic cylinder object. No matter how I attempt to create a cylinder, I get only single flat plane as an end result. I am permitted only a single click in the definition portion of its creation and a second click merely finalizes creation. I cannot define radius or length with multiple clicks like all other geometrics . . . Has anyone else experienced this or have I just lost my mind? Keirn
