Matthew, In your earliest post on this subject you said Vectorworks 8 wasn't designed to work on Windows XP or 2000. I'm using VW 8 on both XP and 2000; as I'm new to the program I haven't run into any probs because of this, if there are any. Can you give me a heads up about what problems there might be with using VW 8 on these operating systems? ( I am thinking that just because it wasn't designed for these OS's does not necessarily mean I will have problems.) I'm not asking for a list of problems with VW 8 itself. I hope to find those out on my own. I won't upgrade to 9 or 10 until I have problems or outgrow 8. It is good to know that I should wait to get the final version of 10 until next year....if then.

thank you, Giovanni... (Hope Palo Alto is treating you well; I lived there for 17 years up til 2000...lovely place; still consider it home.) thanks for the solution to my polygon prob.

New here and new to Vectorworks. If I had a lot of time, I might be able to figure this out, but I'm hoping to use Vworks in my current project. I have been trying to figure out how to create a 3D polygon that is sloped (has different Z values for various vertical lines on the vertices.) The 3D and extruded poly tools only seem to make level polygons. Is there a way to do this with Vworks 8? Do I need some plugin or an upgrade of some kind? Or is there a trick? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
