ClosePoly;

BeginXtrd(0', 4');
    BeginPoly;
	AddPoint( -5', 3' );
	AddPoint( 0, 3' );
	AddPoint( 0, 6' );
	AddPoint( 5', 0 );
	AddPoint( 0, -6');
	AddPoint( 0', -3');
	AddPoint(-5', -3');
    EndPoly;
EndXtrd;

h1 := LNewObj;


Move3DObj( h1, 5', 0 , 0 );
h2 := CreateDuplicateObject( h1, NIL );

Flip3DObj( h2 , TRUE );
