Hello all and thank you for this wonderful site.

I have a question that I hope someone will be able answer. I've been using SUPro 7 for the past year and feel that I'm starting to "get there." But every so often I run into a problem I don't have a ready answer for. Now is one of those moments... help!
I need to lift the corner of an object (like lifting the corner of a page) — BUT — the object has a ton of minute detail and geometry.
I had no problem drawing this illustration when the object was a simple thin rectangle with "painted texture." SEE 1st PDF attachment.The problem is that the object that I now want the corner to curl on, is very detailed geometrically and I must retain its ratio scaling etc. SEE 2nd PDF attachment.
The 3rd PDF attachment is the overview of the illustration in which I need to curl the corner. SEE 3rd PDF attachment.
Has anyone got a suggestion — or better yet — a walk-through?
Thanks all for your time and brain power. DM&EE-A (Peter)

I take it that you want to "lift" the corrugated layer and peel it back. Could you instead somehow use a texture to represent the heavy geometry?
If not, FredoScale tools has in its suite the FredoBend tool, which basically sets up a very temporary deformation lattice as you bend the selection, and seems to work best on pregrouped geometry. This is a free plugin, listed in the plugins index here. There is ample documentation and the thread titled FredoScale or something like it has the zip file. You will also need Libfredo6x a companion file.You may wish to post in the future with a Subject heading more pertinent to your issue. Someone with the answer you need may have seen your heading and decided that you did not have a help question. Perhaps a moderator can relabel?
And--you are welcome here, at least if I may speak for the community.

Mitcorb, thanks for the fast response and the information about FredoScale and FredoBend. I guess I know what I'm doing for the evening...
Thanks also for the wise tip about my subject heading - duh! As my first post to the forum I was more conscience about making a "correct" post - possibly not a good one. Cheers!
