    Gary, I think you've misinterpreted the original post - just as I did.

    Figs describes a cube where only the forward faces are visible - so no hidden lines.

    His request is to thicken the outer edges - as demonstrated by Philm.

    Paul, Figs mentioned "inner lines" and "wireframes", although yes, he did originally , mention visible front-facing edges, and the gist of his query was that he had geometry that was much more complex as his target for completing.

    If I did misinterpret Figs' query, it's a pity so much acrimony was generated so quickly, because I thought my solution was a novel one and we might never know what, specifically, he needed to do.

    I do a lot of work in various applications, believing in the right tool for the right job, blah-blah-blah, but the finished look usually leads me to Xara. I think I've designed over 50 birthday and Christmas cards over the past decade, and every one of them for print is a Xara file: I need text, I need color correction for output, I need trim guides, and so on.

    This is how I interpreted his request, either filled or unfilled :

    Well, if Figs decides this is not the place for him, I think we've extended ourselves to this request earnestly and professionally, and I think the interpretation, Frank, would make a lovely drawing of a gemstone! :)
