Sorry, no offense intended - I'm afraid I didn't provide a good
description of what I was going to do. I was planning to write a little

automatically combined in the same manner after each change.
Now, with some VB code in sight, I saw the possibility to have some
sub-images automatically created by programmes such as L3P, so a set of
pictures of a model will be created and combined automatically with
basically one mouse click, after changing something in the model file.
