If you download the package from: http://www.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/simulation/mathematica/IMSweb/ you will find a function called imsExtrudeGraphics which will extrude 2D Graphics to 3D Graphics. You might want to join the mailing list under: http://elmo.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/mailman/listinfo/ims Hope that helps, Oliver Oliver Ruebenkoenig, <ruebenko at imtek.de> Phone: ++49 +761 203 7385
