Hey Brian - Hey Bob,

If you look at the drawing image attached you can see where the drip line is for the cat walk on the lighthouse. A drip line is reference is pattern work for vertical positions of elements. In this case if you let one drop of water fall off the edge of the cat walk and assuming that the water falls straight to the ground, where would the water drop land when it hit the ground.

In this drawing the drip line for the cat walk is at the same point as the outer edges of the light house base. This means that the cat walk is the same dimension (diameter) as the base of the light house and therefore all contained within the lighthouse layer.

Did that answer what you were asking ???

Thank's Susan. I was of the same thought on the number of depth although didnot view the cat walk the same , like the point. Will see about posting when done. Brian
