TOXE, you are right (but you knew that, didn't you?). I almost model everything in Amapi D7, but sometimes I will crease some edges in Carrara afterword. As with any modeling, using Amapi or Carrara or both, there is usually more than one approach. Anyway, as far as the original question is concerned, this shape is very possible in Carrara 3 - even easy really. Patrick Tuten
