      OK I can make spheres and complex rounded objects. Yes he can be taught! Now I need to know how to cut grooves and window holes into these curved and round surfaces. I really do look for the tutes for this stuff before I ask here but I have yet to find one on this subject. Thanks in advance.

      Due to financial constraints the light at the end of the tunnel will be extinguished until further notice.

        Probably the most versatile way to do things like this is with intersections.

        In essence, you get the 2 bits of geometry you want to intersect->select them->right click->intersect->with selected.

        If you have a play around with this im sure you'll get the idea in no time πŸ‘

          There is a nicely performed tutorial about it here:

            I have attached a 2 scene model, the first has a complete sphere with 2 other objects poking into it.

            The second is the result of:

            1. Double clicking the sphere to edit it
            2. Going "Edit -> Intersect -> Intersect with model"
            3. Deleting the 2 boxes
            4. Deleteing the faces no longer needed
            5. Adding the lines that completed the internal faces
