I've done this several times. There's also a tendency for diagrammers to feel like using a photo is cheating. Personally, I am starting to come around on this point-- I've seen a couple very nice photodiagrams recently, and with some models, it would really speed up my workflow. -- Andrew ______________________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahudson http://ahudsonorigami.wordpress.com/
