                  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.

                                Cheers Baz, and Merry Whatsit to you too.

                                Just remember to start with a cube centered on the origin.

                                  One method for joining cylinders with a smooth transition, using Fredo's Curviloft.

                                    Many don't think of the 'arc' tool when they need to do an off axis follow me.
