Re: Question about 3d-like shapes.

Hi Benoit,

You can create a "3D looking" shape by using an oblong, the pen tool and =
a line (all of these are available in the standard version of OG).

Download a flat graffle file from =
http://www.open-voip.com/omnigraffle/thomas3d.graffle to see this in =
action.

My boxes are a tad bit different than then one in your example. The =
reason for this is my boxes has equal length, while your example - the =
upper box is chorter than the one bellow.
