          If you don't have SubSmoove--follow me is great too. Draw the profile you want and FollowMe around the circle.

          This took about 5 mins. Good Luck.20081107090138_57s.jpg

          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            Thank you all. the stool turned out quite nice, but i had one more question. If i was trying to create the Kartell Gem Stool, is there a knurl tool or something to that effect that would triangulate the surface to have the realistic qualities of the stool. Thanks again I appreciate you taking the time to help.

              Is this what you are trying to model?

                    Dear Chango70,

                    No, that is not my model. It is an image I got of the web. I posted it so others could see what was required. It looks tricky to model.

                    Regards,
                    Bob

                        Oops sorry I thought it was a render you did. You just can't tell these days. Apologies.
