            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.

                                          Thankyou gentlemen, I suspect though that many people find them boring.

                                          However, here is a quickie to show the difference between Throw to and Smart Drop.
