Yes, and I prefer the other method I described. Starting with an elipse or polyline and extruding it, each segment border becomes the equivelant of the "former". Either way works well though. > I was also impressed that it would let you > place 3View images in the background, to trace the > planform. That makes a big difference. It is a little bit of a pain that you have to load and position the 3View every time you start the program. Sometimes I crop them in gimp so they'll position correctly in ac3d without adjustment (or you have to load _and_ reaadjust them every time you start ac3d). You can adjust the background using alt+arrows to move it around and alt+shift+arrows to zoom it in and out.
