Also, when using the boolean function, it really helps to have all your templates attached to each other (one object), instead of being different parts.  This will prevent the part from fracturing into unneeded polys.

You guys who have the talent for this kind of stuff fascinate me. My talent is tested in the bathroom when it's time for the paperwork...

I have FS2002PE, which is supposed to have gmax in it. I never found it...

Check the first and last CDs. It should be listed under the "extras" folder.

If you still can't find it, then go to www.turbosquid.com and download it there. Just remember two things:

1. FS2002PE only has the older version
2. Turbosquid has the newer version but requires a free account.
