        Again and again I am so amazed how many years it takes for me to discover all these "Eastereggs" ๐Ÿ˜„
        Thank you Box for this impressive example!

          But these things are not impressive, it's just the way the software works.
          If I posted the weird stuff...

                        Just a little reminder of how to use edges to help you control bezier curves.

                            Here's a reminder that solid tools doesn't just mean one solid lump interacting with another solid lump. A 'Solid' can be made up of many individual pieces, as long as they follow the basic rules of a solid, and they aren't nested within the group. For example, two cubes of raw geometry not touching, grouped will be seen as a Solid.

                            So in this case I actually drew the diamond grid that I wanted but only kept and extruded the 'Holes'. Then Subtract from the curved solid and you've got your diamond pattern ready to bend.

                                          Just remember to start with a cube centered on the origin.
