Then two active objects which are slanted, and use them to mask the edge of the counter... so its the shape shown above... yes? That's what I'd do if we're talking about the same thing.

Then two active objects the colour of the background these shapes: \|\ \| \ - and one the same but flipped vertically and horizontally. \|_\ Now make sure the objects are positioned at each end of the counter, to cover up the vertical ends, and make them appear slanted. The actives must be brought to the front. Should work. Could make some very stylish counters this way. Edited by the Author.

Try and make every pixel of the counter 1 point on the counter. If the counter is 100 max, make it 100pixels long. Then set the active object on the right to "active object on the left + value of counter" and adjust it till its right.

Looks nice though. Project: Roller Coaster is on it's way! http://www.projectrollercoaster.co.uk/ http://www.craftsncreatures.com
