Hello,

I wonna make a shhpe that has two faces, one on top and one on the bottom... they are both different as you cna see in the screenshot...
What I want to do is have a pattern (as youc an see secodn screenshot) taht goes in bewteen them all around teh edge... I used the Chris Fullmers plugin "component stringer to get teh pattern to go all around nicely but I want the patter to be thinner in some places... I have no idea how to do it... Iw as thinking maybe if I had the pattern follow two lines (edges of each of the top and bottom faces) then it could of been done quicker and more efficent.

Thank you,

Milo
