> Need to make a 7 piece jigsaw puzzle. What is the best way to go about it?

Just make a box the size of the entire puzzle (you may want to use a
picture from DPaint or something for reference as a BG image).  Trace
each puzzle piece from the BG image by simply Making Points, then make
them into a polygon (or a spline you can patch later for more detail).
Do this for each piece, and you'll have a jigsaw puzzle nicely put together.

Then just selcet each polygon individually, and cut each one to a new
layer and save it.  If you don't move the pieces and give them all the
same surface, then you can texture map the whole thing in 1 shot (I
think...)  Then you can have them fly all around in Layout and come
together just by moving them to 0,0,0.

Good luck!
