Thanks guys,
yeah I was using byron's poly tool for 6.5. It's pretty awesome except sometimes it deletes your shader. Kind of annoying, but for what it does, it was really worth it. Unfortunately it doesn't work on 7.0 :/

And yeah I agree with Vlad that extruding doesn't really give me what I want. It works fine, I use that too, but when it comes to a smoothe surface at a wierd angle, scaling it to the way you want it can be a pain in the arse.

Anyhow I'll check that site out.Appreciate it.
