      You have attached an SU file. You must not have drawn everything (?), because there are also open areas under the holes and at the bottom edge of the lid in this file.

        @Alohaa I DID draw everything. I left your original objects in the background. They are missing faces as I showed in the first screenshots in my post from yesterday. The ones I created are centered on the model origin and have all required faces. There is an active section cut which I left so you could see the interior of the objects I modeled. You can turn off the Section Cut though to see the objects in their entirety.

          Far be it from me to contradict you, but when I look at the parts from below, I think I see open surfaces. Sorry.

          By the way, it doesn't matter, but my drawings are not in your file

            @Alohaa My guess is you have opened the wrong model file.
            Pretty clear here that Dave's model contains correct geometry.

              @Alohaa I think @Box has put his finger on it. You must be opening the wrong file. As you can see in his GIF as well as in my screen shots, my version with the section cut and your original model in the background are present.

                Sorry, but there was only 1 file attached here, from you 2 days ago, and you removed it, I assume, because it is no longer in your post.

                The file I downloaded, 2 times, hence the number 2 after the name (which also indicates that it is the downloaded file), contains only my drawings, unlike the one shown by @Box in the gif posted earlier. And he (or she) didn't post an SU file!

                Am I crazy or am I right?

                Update: I have found the file below the image, of which I first thought it was the name.

                So, everything is fine! Sorry

                  I did not remove the file. It is still there immediately under the screenshot. How do you think Box was able to open my file?

                  I made it more clear in that post.

                  There was no reason for him to share the file since it's the same as the one in my post.

                  Am I crazy or am I right?

                  Sorry. Of those two choices, I'd have to say you're crazy.

                    @Dave-R Let's say, I was crazy, until I opened the eyes.
                    How can I remove the sectioning? I have never used this function (like many others!).

                      Select the section plane and press Delete.

                        You've asked this twice in this thread alone. In this case you aren't 'right'.

                            What I still don't know: how can I guide the rounding on the lid around the corner?

                              @Alohaa what are you referring to now? What lid? What rounding?

                                The rounding that can be seen in my first post and that I only managed to draw until the corner.

                                    ok, I understand the principle.
                                    What I have some difficulties to understand is the method how you fill the surface.

                                      @Alohaa Box double clicked on the surface of the large hole which selected the surface and its edges. Then he pressed Delete. The hole was automatically filled in.

                                        How about the button to the right of the Image Upload button?

                                        Here is a link to were it first became apparent to me.
                                        Dave has an upload button and we don't.
