                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.

                                      Many don't think of the 'arc' tool when they need to do an off axis follow me.
