        Hmm, not following you. That seems to get me to where I was before. I still can't figure out how you did the trim around the window.

          Dedmin - the question was "how to"?

          Pilou - I would have sweared you'd come back with TOS - which would be perfect for this job of course. Your description is a bit brief however. I guess it's the same as my (no-plugin) solution, too. πŸ˜‰

            and JPP

              Joint PP and Offset on Surface helps with that problem I believe

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

                Certainly - the "plugin way".

                  What??? Is that bad? Did I violate the No Plugin Code thingy? 😳

                    Ah, I see. Make the trim before I intersect with the building.

                    Awesome, thanks for all the responses.

                      No, not at all, David.
                      Just when we are in the Newbie forum, I like to show people all the ways that native SU can solve. In this case, the plugin way will of course, produce much more regular and nicer geometry however.

                      @zigfoyer:

                      Glad if there was any helpful hints here - in either way. With such curvy geometry, you could indeed check out those plugins David mentioned.
