Some tips and tricks from out of the Box
- 
 It is just that fourth method that I am having a problem with. Bending the "page" at an angle with it winding up with one corner bent up at an angle. The other methods are pretty straight forward. 
- 
 Can you rotate a single face off axis? 
  
 It is the same process, set the angle of rotation then bend it along that angle.
 But I'm to bed now.

 Thanks for your patience Box. I finally got it to work. Yes, I need some additional practice to learn how to control it more accurately but here is a sample I finally created. 
  
- 
 Well done, glad to see you got there.

 Ok, here's another one to drive you mad. 
 How do you make a hollow torus from a spiral that is one continuous solid sausage.

 All I can say is WOW!    That one will really take some studying and a WHOLE LOT of practice. 
- 
 The right tools in the right hands...

    how is it possible to think that before even?!?? - even before you start thinking about the necessary tools for the imagined ?! how is it possible to think that before even?!?? - even before you start thinking about the necessary tools for the imagined ?! I love this spiral thing !!!! I love this spiral thing !!!! 
 again so much more than the cool model idea itself

 @ntxdave said: All I can say is WOW!    That one will really take some studying and a WHOLE LOT of practice. Good. And hopefully you recognise that this thread is not meant to be a one on one tutorial. 
 What I think it is, is Box putting his slightly insane sketchup imagination out there.
 And you are bogging him down.But. About your questions...How about a new post.EG: 'Boxions No1'? I"ll follow... not a trump fan. xx

Maybe someone can remove my posts or move them to a discussion thread. Perhaps we could get Box to add a tip numer or name to each and then we could have a discussion thread for exact of the tip names/numbers. If that is done, maybe a monitor can move my posts/questions to the appropriate thread. 
- 
 Just repost the gif as a post and give it a name...'How does this Box gif work' would do it... 
- 
 Good point Baz but how do we clean up the junk I created in this thread so we get it back to the way it should be? 
- 
 It's not that important really, I don't think there are that many people interested in the thread.

 @box said: It's not that important really, I don't think there are that many people interested in the thread. 2000+ views, but I wonder how many are following? No way to see that info from this side I presume. 
- 
 Iβm definitely following this thread and intend to go back and try to recreate the lessons in each gif. I didnβt find the questions and comments distracting, as some of the questions were ones I had myself! 
- 
 I haven't recorded any interesting gifs lately but I did continue to doodle with Truebend. 
 So here's a render of a couple of crazy ceramic fruitbowls. Created using a version of the method shown above.

 Magical transformations! I am fan!  
- 
 Here's a simple one, just demoing the basics of building a shape as a solid. No detail in the teeth or accurate dimensions but it was done to show the process.

 Sorry, not a tip or trick as such, but an experiment in mostly SUbD and Clothworks for making chain mail.
