I probably need n!. I find I can't even make freecad-19 do what 16 can do, make a part vanish so as to see whats behind it. The highlight coloring works on THAT part, tap the space bar to make THAT part vanish, and it blanks the whole assembly, no matter what part I've clicked on... And it all comes back if I hit the spacebar again. Cornfuzzin is what it is. Newer versions are supposed to add features, not take them away. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
