<p>As of now, I am drawing two 3dpolylines and lofting them together to create a nurbsurface that I can manipulate. We'll see how that goes when I get into some odd shaped canopies - again, thanks for the responses - John</p>

<p>type Surftab1....and enter value between 50 to 75</p>
<p>it should give you smooth curve</p>

<p>Many thanks to all. I had an associate start on this and was guiding him towards nurbs. He ended up creating a "NURBSURFACE" object that I will hopefully be able to use on Monday when I get back into it. Anyone aware of any issues of nXt rendering nurbsurfaces? Thanks - John</p>

<p>If they are taught like those you could use 2 solids and use the intersection function for each canopy. This will work and give you the look that you want. Model the 1st solid in plan view of the canopy and extrude it to a depth greater than the structure. Model the second from the side view and again extrude it to be large than the final canopy. Overlap the two and do the intersection command. You should be left with just the areas where both solids were present & it should give you a…</p>
