Frank, >I was having a gut feeling this was so, but was hoping otherwise. Perhaps in 2.0. . . . . Probably not even in 3, 4 or 5. Since trueSpace (and all modelers I know of) render 3D objects, you must start with at least the minimum object… a face described with 3 points. There are no 2D objects in existance, and the same is true with tS. For a curled piece of paper, make a very thin, long rectangle (to scale if you want, about .004" thick), and lathe it into the curl of your choice. Regards, Ian
