Once again thank you. I almost went back to SketchUp but got used to working on the iPad, so I think I’ll push through this. Your help has made this much more hopeful.

I’m hoping to have the time tonight or tomorrow to apply what you’ve described.

I was able to sort of figure out what you did. Can’t work on it much more tonight but I made a little progress. Hopefully I’ll have time to figure it out tomorrow.  
Thanks!
