      Can you rotate a single face off axis?

      It is the same process, set the angle of rotation then bend it along that angle.
      But I'm to bed now.

        Thanks for your patience Box. I finally got it to work. Yes, I need some additional practice to learn how to control it more accurately but here is a sample I finally created.

            Ok, here's another one to drive you mad.
            How do you make a hollow torus from a spiral that is one continuous solid sausage.

              All I can say is WOW! 👍 👍

              That one will really take some studying and a WHOLE LOT of practice.

                  😲 😲 how is it possible to think that before even?!?? - even before you start thinking about the necessary tools for the imagined ?! 😲 I love this spiral thing !!!! 😄
                  again so much more than the cool model idea itself 👍 👍

                    Good. And hopefully you recognise that this thread is not meant to be a one on one tutorial.
                    What I think it is, is Box putting his slightly insane sketchup imagination out there.
                    And you are bogging him down.

                    But. About your questions...How about a new post.EG: 'Boxions No1'?

                    I"ll follow...

                      SORRY!

                      Maybe someone can remove my posts or move them to a discussion thread.

                      Perhaps we could get Box to add a tip numer or name to each and then we could have a discussion thread for exact of the tip names/numbers. If that is done, maybe a monitor can move my posts/questions to the appropriate thread.

                          Good point Baz but how do we clean up the junk I created in this thread so we get it back to the way it should be?

                            It's not that important really, I don't think there are that many people interested in the thread.

                              2000+ views, but I wonder how many are following? No way to see that info from this side I presume.

                                I’m definitely following this thread and intend to go back and try to recreate the lessons in each gif. I didn’t find the questions and comments distracting, as some of the questions were ones I had myself!

                                  I haven't recorded any interesting gifs lately but I did continue to doodle with Truebend.
                                  So here's a render of a couple of crazy ceramic fruitbowls. Created using a version of the method shown above.

                                      Here's a simple one, just demoing the basics of building a shape as a solid. No detail in the teeth or accurate dimensions but it was done to show the process.

                                          Sorry, not a tip or trick as such, but an experiment in mostly SUbD and Clothworks for making chain mail.
