I've learned something new "averted vision". I thought maybe my eyes were messed up!!

Yes GEM is strangly easy and complicated at the same time. The scales do make finding a bit easier but is far from perfect. Half the time I forget to set the scale before I move to the next object then spend a bit of time looking in the wrong place till I realize what I've done!! I think it will be a bit like making an espresso, once I get my technique down it will be second nature. Making a list of objects to see before hand would really help me out a lot.

I have to say you guys are the friendliest bunch. On my other forums (reeftank related) I would have already been called names and laughed at. Thank you for your newb kindness.
