      I haven't had time for ages just to have a play, so this was a relaxing bit of fun.
      One interesting thing that came out of it that I was half aware of, you can twist your quads so they are kinda inside out and SUbD will still make beautiful shapes from them.

        For a while, I thought your model was too messed up for SubD to actually work.Awesome discovery by just playing around..

          I'm pretty sure it helped that I twisted it using Vertex tools as it tends to retain a good quad structure.

                    ... maybe simple - but very smart to build just a quarter of only one heater segment and to copy-mirror everything to a whole heater - a nice model idea!

                        Wonderful examples. Loving meshes that have the bare minimum of quads to define a shape.

                          A soft knurled knob for a friend's gadget.
                          It will be a 3d print, the render was just for fun.

                            I and Google Translate have no idea what a "knurled knob" is but these "segment rings" look great - are all these individual "subDed" components?

                                Knurling is when you add the serrated edges to a surface to increase its grip.

                                That's a cool result. SU needs a poke tool to make this easier and quicker to achieve.

                                  Love the poke tool, Rich. Is it from Blender?

                                    No its all one piece. I used SUBD, JPP and Fredo scale Twist to make it, then SUbDed it to finish.
                                    I can do a gif if interested. But on my phone just now.

                                      hmm... this could be a Vertex Tools feature...
