While trying to design some desktop icons in Xtreme, it seems a fairly 'manual' job to do simple 3D (I have to drop a copy, move it behind, monkey around with the shape to give a proper 3D shape, tweak the edges, etc. etc.)

Other vector apps seem to have built in tools to create pseudo-3d objects fairly easily - but I prefer the drawing tools in Xara, which are so much more intuitive.

My question is this: is there a plug-in or external tool which will help me do this quicker? I have Xara3D which will extrude and bevel until the cows come home, but it's not good for editing stuff. Will we ever see those capabilities in Xtreme? Alternatively, couldn't Xtreme and 3D link better (i.e. full two-way export/import)? Pretty please? Or is there a better way?

Thanks.
