Xara Xtreme Brass Hinge tutorial April 2006

Apply a solid fill to the rectangles in the center of the screw heads (using the second color shown above designated Fill). Zoom in close and add a line at the top of the rectangle and one at the bottom. Change the line Width to 1pt.

Use the darker color for the top lines and the lighter line color for the bottom lines. Those screws look pretty darn convincing, don't you agree?

Select the arched rectangle at the top of the barrel and apply an Inner, Rounded bevel. Zoom in close, select the shape with the Bevel Tool (Ctrl F3 ) and drag a little towards the center. From the Bevel Type drop down list on the Infobar, select Rounded.

Clone (Ctrl k) all the curved lines on the barrel and move them up about 1 pixel. If your Nudge Size distance in your Page Options > General tabbed section (right click on the page and select Page Options) is set to 1pix then you can press once on the up arrow key on your keyboard to "nudge" the lines upwards 1 pixel per click.

Apply the dark brown line color to the upper lines and the pale gold color to the lower lines as shown.

If you have not already done so, remove the black outlines from the rounded rectangle, the barrel, and anything else that is not a line itself.
