Thanks for the quick reply.
In the PDF manual that came with EC 4000, under the Glass section, page 45, one can find this picture:
The accompanying text said this:
Is it possible to do this using Xpro and EC 4000?The glassware above was created using the “Multiple
Bevels” profile found on the Bevel Profile tab in Glass.
Bevel Width 0.58, Edge Darkening 3, Refraction 87,
Opacity 0, Tinting 24 and a very light aqua Tint
Color. The filter was applied to an empty circular
selection.
Regards,
Alan

Alan I cannot achieve that exact effect.
The instructions from the manual appear to be from the original EC4000 for Photoshop where a circular selection of empty pixel can be done.
The closest I have gotten after a half hour of testing.

Hi Bill,
I think I have a bit of a handle on it now.
Here's a picture I did:
The violet bunch is produced twice. The glass plate partly covers one copy and partly covers the woven table mat. The glass plate distorts the flowers and mat underneath where it is grooved.
Here is the xar file.
Regards,
Alan

Very nice Alan, taking inspiration from your drawing I have at last started to get some decent results from the glass plugin, thanks!
Alan, thanks for posting your file. It is much easier to see how it is done now that I see it

You're welcome. Actually, I'm thrilled that I figured it out because I am not too expert with Xara.
The problem is that Xara does not allow one to make a selection of an area because it is object oriented. I downloaded a trial copy of the glass goody and tried it in Paintshop, and it worked as I thought it would in Xara. So really what I did was a workaround.
Regards,
Alan
