I have only touched on them in a general way. I played with your
code a bit but had no idea what the shape was supposed to be so
stopped.

Some excellen examples of using planes to create multi-sided
objects lie in the shapes.inc files. Shapes.old, shapes.inc,
and shapes2.inc. Everything from 4 sided to 20 sided shapes.
It's a good learning exersize. So are the brilliant cut diamonds
I referred you to in the scenes files groups which are constructed
using planes.
