Thanks!

I must have made this thing five times over. Each time I learn something new. question for you gurus out there: How do you handle cut lines like door panels?

- In the past I tried making them as separate panels. It's OK, but I notices I really need to bevel and add poly's to the edges or they will round over.
- What I am trying ( on yet a new version of the model) is to move the verts until they outline the door, select the edges and bevel. Extrude the new faces inward, then bevel the edges along the extruded contour. I've only tried this on a test. I will post the new version tomorrow.
-----------

also, how dense should the mesh be before sub-D? Is the mesh that I posted too dense? Can I go looser and still get clean sharp details? Thanks.
