I have tried several others from different sites- all with varying degrees of success. Yours is the best, by far. I love the fact that you explain your keystrokes. My mantis came out a very slight bit different but very well done. Again, thanks. Mathew, I am fairly new at this as well. I had a similar problem when using background images. It drove me crazy till I was using a tutorial that briefly mentioned that the "Aligned to View" needs to be turned on. It aligns newly added objects towards the view (your view). You will find it in the "Edit Methods" TAB at the very top in the User Preferences menu. Here is how you find the User Preferences menu: Is the main menu associated with the "User Preferences" window type. To actually see the information, you need to click and drag the area between the 3D window and menu header; Roll the mouse between them and when it changes to a up/down arrow you can drag and see the "User Preferences" window.
