I don't think so, as you can't build an L shape with 'polygon type. > The effect of stacking the ribbons with the hint-wire that you are > using here is quite interesting, BTW.

Yes, the (hint-wire) lines are drawn with some offset so they don't intersect with the solid geometry of the object they belong to. The ribbons just get splatted in the middle of this - notice the line inside the corner of the L shape is not always visible? That's a problem with this approach. Who knew wireframe could be so hard! :) cheers, dave
