Bob
It looks like you were right all along
Again, I'm sorry...
Either I misunderstand what you are telling me sometimes or get tunnel vision and don't pay close enough attention.
Using the views was "Not" my idea to start with but it looked good, so I went with it, but programmatically, using the boundingbox method, zoom windowon the blocks and further zooming it up actually works excellent.
I misunderstood when you suggested zoom to create a buffer...
Again, I apologize and your original code with the above zoomed scaled seems to really be the ticket.
Thank you,
Mark
