          It's a sluice for washing away 'dirty stuff' - NOT for 'number twos' directly produced over it... 😲
          BUT the principle of its modeling remains the same........

          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? 😆 )

                It's a damned lavatory with an identity problem. A sink with delusions of grandeur. An egotripping spitoon
                A bidet down on its luck

                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:

                    Ok, here's my video since we're all gone crazy screen recording!

                      We're certainly showing more than one way to skin a cat! Nice videos everyone. 😄

                      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 😄

                                Wow guys!!! 😮 thanks for spending so much time on tuts!!!!!

                                One thing that I've been thinking is how they appear in plan and elevation considering htey don.t have visible edges. I downloaded a file from a product website and used it in my model but when setting basic edges styles the model couldn't be seen.... I guess it's just a matter of drawing in the lines you.d need for plan or elevation of just set profiles on......

                                BTW, It would be interesting to hear what size files you've all created.

                                Thanks again to you all, it great to see all different workflows.... I'll give it a run tonight
                                👍

                                  That is a great tut Chip, well done although the music almost put me to sleep.

                                  Glad to help Andrew.

                                    Thanks Eric. Originally, I had some Brooks and Dunn, but YouTube flagged me. Any suggestions on where I can find decent "legally free" background tunes?

                                      You could always hum a tune while modeling. 💚

                                      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                                        The common term for this device is a Bidet (pronounced Bee-day {French})

                                        Mind you the tube rack is novel, if seemingly a bit uncomfortable and perhaps impractical.
                                        Any Bidet I've seen uses a common toilet seat. You need to sit firmly down as it splashes a lot.
