      Thanks to you all taking the time and chiming in. πŸ‘
      Kris - I see what you mean... sorry for the misunderstanding, mac1! πŸ‘
      Don & Howard - Both methods were how I tried at first however the look is not the same.... [see attached photo image] you'll see that the underside of the rim is moulded consistent with the top rather than squared. I was thinking it may be an ExtrudeBy____ process or curviloft.

      What do you think?

        Those drawings are missing an element in the design...i think?

        The transition from the bowl to the back. I'd imagine it would curve inwards? Have you a real photo?

        you read my mind, Rich! see above... πŸ‘

                That's pretty close, Rich! πŸ‘ so what did you do to get it?

                And yes TIG's right; that stainless steel rack on it's lid might make for an iteresting experience.... πŸ˜†

                  Here's a play.
                  When you look closely the profiles of front to side are not the same as well as the side walls deminish as it moves to the back. I tried EEByRails but the bottom curve is a questions which you'll see in the plan view....

                  I just copied the CAD lines so segments are high and hence many facets so I would need to cut them down. How would I do that considering the welded profile may be made up of differing lines lengths?

                        Andrew, sorry I did not see this earlier.

                        There are obviously many different ways to go about it, here is my starting stab...
                        (I find it useful to use Subdivide & Smooth to create a profile that will later be Subdivided & Smoothed, wait, what? πŸ˜† )

                              It's a damned lavatory with an identity problem. A sink with delusions of grandeur. An egotripping spitoon

                              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                Here's a quick version I created in about 30 minutes with Artisan using a more traditional box modeling technique which has just about all the detail. I captured the video and it's posting to YouTube now-- I'll put a link here when it's done.

                                A real advantage of box modeling is you can go back in easily and tweak proportions and add detail as you go.

                                Here's the skp file:

                                    Rich, how are you able to embed a YouTube vid? Is it something only moderators can do?

                                      here' the link....

                                      [flash=800,600]http://www.youtube.com/v=YwQF1H7ldq0[/flash]
                                      

                                      Use the flash button

                                      Insert dimensions of video after '='

                                      Paste link

                                      delete 'watch?' and the '=' after 'v'

                                      So you get /v/YwQF1H7ldq0

                                      Does that even make sense?

                                      I know Jim has a tool here somewhere that automatically does this? Anyone?

                                        Here's the YouTube Vid:

                                        And if you wait a couple hours, YouTube will automatically convert to 720p so you can see it at hi-rez! Pretty cool πŸ˜„
