      Fantastic - all my questions answered (well, until I encounter the next problem). Once again, and with feeling, thank you so much to all of you for taking a lot of time and effort to help me out (and apologies to Pilou and others for not uploading the v6 version of the model earlier).

        I only type with two fingers. Maybe I'll have to start typing with one eye tied behind my back. πŸ˜„

          Mostly because I was curious about the steps in the process I outlined, I made a video of it. I did it at almost the speed I'd work if I was doing it for myself and didn't need to say anything. I could have shortened it up. I think my computer was a bit overloaded when I recorded it because the first right to left selection didn't work correctly.

          Although I use Edit>Paste in place a lot--so much so I have a keyboard shortcut for it--I'd never thought to use it in a case like this. I can see some good uses for it, though.

              forget typing with one eye tied behind your back, type in french how many fingers you need then google translate. πŸ’š

                  Thx for the V6: that must be a reflex, a sort of esperento of file export between versions! πŸ‘

                  I will exam the videos tomorrow πŸ€“

                  @Dave : that will be funny to know where you found only these 3 words! πŸ˜„
                  That can be a good resume of the Universe! πŸ’š

                      pretty much anything which can show someone to avoid trying to manually delete a hundred or so edges with the eraser tool is the 'right' method πŸ˜‰

                      [EDIT]
                      good one pilou. i used to use that plugin (inverse selection) a lot... until v8 and the Solid Tools. (which is how i'd normally do this)

                        Ok! Very cool videos Jeff and Dave! πŸ‘

                        But sorry for this time in this particular case...
                        I believe that I am more speedy and more simple! πŸ’š

                        You right I use plugin but just one and indispensable in the Toolbox! 😎

                        Only curvated face is duplicated not the volume!

                        Edit : I verify this morning because that was just theoric this night! πŸ˜„
                        One of the curvated face must be "inverse white / blue" and the 2 curvated faces must be "Intersect with the model" ! And of course Rectangle Selection must be left to right! πŸ€“

                        Don't forget that in the past I have made "speedy challenge" Sketchup / Moi3D
                        "without plugin" πŸ€“
                        (of course I have losted at each time because Moi is unbeatable! πŸ˜’
                        It's maybe for that I use now plugins! πŸ’š :
