    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to work out how to make a realistic corner page curl in Xara. Can anyone give me a minitut on it please? It would be much appreciated. J :0p

    Take a look at the paper curl thread. If this doesn't answer your question, please let us know.

    Thanks guys, I followed the suggested thread and tried to visit: http://www.crosswinds.net/~adilh/tut...page_curl.html mentioned in the thread but it seems it no longer exists.
    Egg's demo is helpful but I'm trying to curl down a very rounded corner from the top left of the page. I'm a hoplesss illustrator but the colour is a deep (almost navy) blue and shadows don't seem to work all that well.
    Any other suggestions gratefully received. J

    If it is, then you can draw your object with the rounded corners and curl a corner with the mould-tool

    For the curled portion ... how do you create? Copy the pre-molded shape behind the molded shape and then trim?

    Here's a little mini-tut. I didn't have much luck with the Mould Tool, but this seems to do the trick.

    I was fiddling while you were posting. I also found that adding the two extra 'Z' cusps was necessary. : )

    Thanks all, for you help and tutorials. You have solved my problem. I just need to work through the tuts and learn more of Xara. :0) J
