Okay, getting embarrassed about asking questions on Blender. :o

Why does the plane sculpt mesh have rounded corners when added and tend towards circular if I add subsurf or multirez levels? Is there a way to bring it in completely square cornered and keep it that way when I increased the vertex count.

And to maybe reduce the number of queries here - is there a book on Blender that anyone can recommed?

Thanks
- again! :D

PS. When I try to bake the newly imported and unchanged plane sculpt mesh I get a Python error reported - ZeroDivisionError: float division. Is my installation screwy?

Head on over to http:/dominodesigns.info - I'm actively seeking questions there to help define what to put in Primstar's user manual ;)

The type of subsurf (simple subdiv or catmull clark) will affect whether the corners are rounded or not, but as that's a mesh wide setting you'll probably want to learn how to use crease instead. Select the edges that make up the corner, then press "Shift-e" to control the crease. You can view the crease setting to set a specific value in the transform properties (press "n" to view).
