David has the answer for you. You were right in exporting from Corel as .AI. When you get the file into the 2D Shaper, select all the vertices, and then weld them. That will usually do it. When you use Create/Close, it simply drew a straight segment between the end vertices of the selected open polygon. If the polygon was, say, an open figure-eight shape, this would create a self-intersecting polygon. Incidentally, if you use the Shapes/Check command 3D Studio displays small squares around the offending areas of the polygons. Good luck on your article. – Jack
