Thats the problem I seem to have when my scenes start to get somewhere, they 
become so huge i have trouble following them...

One question I have, how do you get those nice round edges instead of the 
sharp square edges you normally get when you difference stuff??  Do you do 
anything special here or do you manually round them off everywhere?
