No, in my head +Z is north - I forgot the -500. What orientation model do
others use? Is it dependant on whether you are northern or southern
hemisphere? (hey, back on topic again).

If I work on a plane, I think of +z as North. If
I am making a planet, +y is "North".

I'm quite happy to wait, but you know people are getting excited and/or 
impatient when every month there's a new thread asking where 3.5 is and 
what's happening to it.

I suppose it'll be time to start worrying when there's a new thread every 
week :)

Bye for now,

do.  Wicked cool.

considering that projects often have to be done twice (the first
time and then again the right way), 180% is not bad.
