      Lightbox.jpgHi All, I am trying to draw complex organic patterns to viualise a 3D cardboard cut out of trees in a forrest to end up as a ligt box. As always I have always had issues with not making a true polygon. I keep on testing the polygon as I go and try to make sure I an drawing on the "on face" but raely achive them. I do not have pro at home but have CAD, so I cant do in CAD and import. I am generally using a series of Arcs to achive the shape tracing upon an exploded image as a template. Any advice to assist would be welcome.

      Thanks

          Also, Fredo Bezier Spline plugin works well on flat surfaces.
