Fledgling designer needs professional help

If the surfaces have only one degree of curvature, unrollsrf will do a better job of developing out the shapes you want than smash. Such surfaces are straight or conical extrusions, straight lofts, or surfaces from rails where the cross section curve is a straight line. Exactly the sort of surface that is best for most paper modelling (Gil and his mouldings excepted!)

Tim, Carl - thanks for the tips and guidance. Now that I can get the views in Rhino as background I am on more comfortable footing.

There ya go Ron. Once Chris told me this (I went "doh!!" to myself) the world of Rhino opened up to me. $1G later I'm an addict. Have you ever used 3D CAD extensively before? This product appealed to me for its similarity. Also, I'm an old technical illustrator (pens, ink, vellum... does anybody but me remember those wonderful things? sigh) and I have a strong personal desire for a home CAD program. The one I use at work will get me fired if I use it for my own projects and I really love CAD anyway. Value to this Bear even though the Polish publishers will miss me for quite a while!

It's nice to add adherents to the Rhino flock. It is wonderful for those who like to see things in 3D...,

Just open them in MS Paint and save them as TIFF's or PNG's.
