Hello Mark and All,
By far the most satisfactory and flexible, because one can then get
immediately back into good old Ortho/2D and
move/stretch/rotate/copy-array those suckers all over the place, fitting
onto columns, mitering, &c.  Once a shell is formed, one is free from the
putzing around with Z's in Elevation--just stretch and move to fit in 2D
Ortho.
FWIW,
Allen McCree, FAIA
