A little challenge ...

[Ross Macintosh]

I thought some might have fun with this. Create your own xara fun using the supplied .xar file as your starting point. The file was created by importing the shapes from a 3d program. Have FUN!

Here's something I made with it.

Does this look like the shape?

It was created entirely in Xara. If anyone is interested I can do a mini-tutorial.

and I would say a tutorial is a must.

Christine's vote counts for several dozen :-)I'll create a tutorial for the next Workbook.

Very nice pattern Gary. I too would be interested in how you went about doing it -- a great tutorial subject.

It differs somewhat from the one created in the 3d program. The 100% xara one appears to be drawn without perspective. Of course 3d modeling programs generate perspective views much easier than can be done manually in xara. With enough skill, time and effort I have no doubt Xara could be used to draw complex geometries in proper perspective.

I haven't done much in Xara with imported geometries. I look forward to doing more.

Ross....What 3D program did you use and how did you import the file(What file type) into Xara?
