Hi Xara fans,
I need some help. I cannot figure out how to draw a shaded, transparent cube in Xara. I also need to add perspective to it. [This is so easy in PowerPoint...and I can do it CorelDraw]. I can't believe the Xara folks overlooked this one. Someone please tell me there's a tool for extruding a rectangle into a 3-d image...
tanks,
Dwight

You might want to take a look at.
Although it was written for CorelDRAW pages 1 & 2 contain some magic numbers for creating isometric shapes in any illustration program.
If you substitute a square/rectangle for the shape on page two you can create all the faces of the cube required then manually and the desired shading.
