Hi Joel, Footprint = old name for Movement trail.

Thanks. For the Glory III module, an interim solution is to make sure that all of the Counter prototypes (or prototypes which contain them) appear before the "Trail USA" or "Trail CSA" prototypes. For a long-term solution, I'm going to have a look at how we use and report bounding boxes. Movement paths arguably should not be reported as being within pieces' bounding boxes. -- J. ____________________________________________________________ Brent Easton Analyst/Programmer University of Western Sydney Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
