Re: flat surfaces with metaform
Metaform doesn't 'smooth' out double sided surfaces so if you want the
top of the car to be flat, copy the roof poly, flip it and paste it down
(and merge points). In order to make a straight edge (like the leading edge
of a plane's wing), make a two point poly (line) along that edge and
metaform won't smooth over that edge. I hope this is clear. If not, I'll
post one of my metaform objects in a few days.
