Ouch! Hey is this another conflict between modern and ancient traditions? In this day and age?! :)

You and I both know we're not talking about papyrus leaves here. Traditional lofting works well. It is a tried and true method used every day with great success; even to scale-up plans. And, there are lots of good reasons (besides sentimentality) why you might choose to go that route. Using a software package doesn't guarantee a good result either.

Hey Michael, Dean... I hope you have great success with it. I just want to share some of the other options out there.
