        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

                      Oops sorry I thought it was a render you did. You just can't tell these days. Apologies.
