Hi Gang I have looked everywhere for instructions on how to skew an object in Bryce like a trapezoid. Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction or if you know, please tell me. Many thanks. Marc

You can make a slanted cube in Bryce but not a true trapezoid without booleaning. On second thought 1. Create cube 2. Rotate Z 45 degrees 3. Make sure in "world space" and scale in Y direction until you have a diamond. 4. rotate back 45 degrees 5. Duplicate and flip on X axis 6. move right until both cube mesh into a trapezoid 7. Select both cubes and group

Still not the shape I'm after. I need a flat top and bottom with slanted sides, either leaning left or right to viewer. HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!!! Playing around with it has produced the shape in question. Thanks anyway :)
