      Sub-divide and smooth and FFD will be a great solution.

      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

        Solo,
        Thank you for trying to help, but I have to be honest. I have no idea what you just said.

          Create the shape with (rectangular faces)
          Sub-divide and smooth (ruby)
          Then using FFD (ruby) you define the shape.

                If you don't have SubSmoove--follow me is great too. Draw the profile you want and FollowMe around the circle.

                This took about 5 mins. Good Luck.20081107090138_57s.jpg

                If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                  Thank you all. the stool turned out quite nice, but i had one more question. If i was trying to create the Kartell Gem Stool, is there a knurl tool or something to that effect that would triangulate the surface to have the realistic qualities of the stool. Thanks again I appreciate you taking the time to help.

                    Is this what you are trying to model?

                          Dear Chango70,

                          No, that is not my model. It is an image I got of the web. I posted it so others could see what was required. It looks tricky to model.

                          Regards,
                          Bob
