      Hello all

      I am a new member on this forum and live in Sweden.

      I have a problem and hope someone can give me a hint.

      I have a cylinder and want to do an intake? in the middle but want it as a smoth curve, not a V-form.

      How can I do that?

      Regards

          Hi Anders,

          (Hm... Pilou beat me but never mind - mine is a bit different)

          You probably drw a circle and then PushPulled it up to a cylinder.

          In order to draw a shape you would like, you need to approach the whole differently, lathing a profile shape around the circle with the Follow me tool

          See example file attached and follow the two-step instructions under
          METHOD 2.
