    Hello
    I am trying to make a box which is a tapered square with rounded sides and a curved top. I would have thought that the Follow me tool would handle this but it breaks up the rounded top as you can see in this image showing the steps I've used. Am I doing something wrong or is it just that follow me can't close the top in correctly? Is there another tool that can do this?

      I don't know exactly what limit you hit, but I think follow me is giving you the shape. Select all and intersect faces with selection. erase the extraneous faces and edges at top and inside. Reverse faces.

        Thanks pbacot
        I had forgotten to use intersect faces. That makes it a lot better.
