Re: Creating desired shape
Try this plug-in:
http://www.supercoldmilk.com/ac3dplug/boxconf.html Create your text, make a box that is sheared the same way you want the text deformed, and then use conform to box to shear the text. |

Hmmm. Can you give me a better description or a sketch of what you're trying to build?

Re: Creating desired shape
Hmmm. I'm not sure on that one. For things like that, I usually do the wireframe in Corel Draw then import it into AC3D as a DXF or TTF as Corel has some pretty nice text tools.
