[QUOTE="DMFTodd, post: 371643, member: 1202"] I'm not a Tablesmith expert but I'll try to answer FastLearner's comment from the previous thread. Hopefully Bruce, the owner of Tablesmith, will jump in and fill my gaps in knowledge. Tablesmith has a ton of built in functions. I can't give you the exact syntax but I'm sure it can do that. You can build a table in Tablesmith in 1 of 2 ways. The first way is as you describe (and seems to be the way most people do Tablesmith tables but I don't see why, it's difficult to make changes as you note): :Materials 1,Wood 2-4,Brick 5,Straw The other way, is to use relative weights instead of straight numbering. The only difference is a semi-colon before the table name instead of the colon: ;Materials 1,Wood 2,Brick 1,Straw If you want to increase the change of any one value, you just change the number. This makes it very easy to add new entries any time you want. This is the way I do all my Tablesmith tables. [/QUOTE]
