  22. Re: flat surfaces with metaform
  23.  
  24. Metaform doesn't 'smooth' out double sided surfaces so if you want the 
  25. top of the car to be flat, copy the roof poly, flip it and paste it down 
  26. (and merge points).  In order to make a straight edge (like the leading edge 
  27. of a plane's wing), make a two point poly (line) along that edge and 
  28. metaform won't smooth over that edge.  I hope this is clear. If not, I'll 
  29. post one of my metaform objects in a few days.
