Santiago, PMJI but yeas you can use scanned images in the shaper. You set your image as the background in 3DS and then in the shaper you can do a see background (alt-g). You can then trace it and loft it. This is not the best way to do this though. One big drawback of doing this in the shaper is that you can't zoom in on the background for detail work. I find the easiest way is to use Corel Draw. The process is basically the same and you can zoom etc. You export your trace as an Adobe Illustrator file and just bring that into the shaper. Of course Illustrator will work also. Good luck. DM
