Subscribers to this site are invited to ask for advice in solving various problems they have come up against in their modeling. Feel free to watch any video responses which are much more conversational in tone, to see if you can pick up anything useful. Why not ask a question via email if you have an issue that isn't covered here. CAUTION - by their nature these videos go into a lot of detail and, as a result, end up pretty lengthy. If you have the patience, there are plenty of gems of information to be picked up.
