      Hi Elisei,

      Thanks again, but this means that it will subtract it from the dome. I do not want to substract it. I want to make a new shape wrapping all around the rectangle and dome in a "knot" kindaway. It is difficult to explain but it is something like the picture attached. But then wrapping it around the rectangle and dome. Actually laying (in contact with) just above the dome but when coming down from the sides of the rectangle, not touching the rectangle, but coming in a curve following the curves of the dome and then bending around it.

      Thanks again,

      Kashaki

        You don't need to subtract it from the dome, you can simply make a copy of your shapes and work with them then move the resulted geometry over your actual building.

          I like Elisei idea to give you the form the shape follows on the dome but then you must continue with giving it thickness and extending beyond the dome, which is a "Hands-on" modeling job, which you may have to build bit by bit. You could continue the ribbons, making paths (curves) defining the "edges" of the ribbon and Extrude Tools to fill in a shape between those curves.

                    Concept of the Flowify πŸ˜„
                    The only constraint : the "target surface" must be quadrangular!

                        I was getting into flowify the other day - really powerful stuff, I can see no end of possible applications.
