      Please forgive me if this is the wrong section to ask... if there is a better section, please let me know πŸ˜„

      I have a Form2 from Formlabs and I'm trying to model and print a 1:160 scale model of a castle. I'm running into trouble modeling shingles (or bricks) on a curved surface. Some of the roofs are especially challenging because they have a complex curve.

      Does anyone have any tips or know of any tutorials? Thanks!!!!!!

        You should get great results with Fredo6's Tools on Surface and JointPushPull.
