Gully, Gaieus,

The inner walls will just have to be modeled as were the outer walls. It will be the last thing I model - if I even do it - since I am only interested in outward appearances. I know, very shallow of me. There are other details that will be left out including measurement graduations and an indented groove that extends vertically on each side of the beaker. Just too much detail for SU to deal with.

Now I see Gaieus has modeled the inside! I will gladly take his work and call it done. Thank you!!! When the handle, lid and push button panel are added the model will likely be 6 times the size of your column. An unwieldly model at best. My daughter says I am crazy to do this in SU when I have other, more appropriate programs to make this model. I agree.

The motor is unnecessary. It will process virtual food just fine.

I have not been enjoying the Sandbox tools in the demo version of Pro. Very slow on my system and clumsy in general. These will take some getting used to. I also miss the ability to select an axis using the arrow keys and some other shortcuts. There may be a way to set these up but I have not found it yet.

Regards, Henry
