Re: How to model a complicated 3D surface?

BTW: I tried to create half the model, but I could not apply a PD mirror pattern to the filleted shape. Is that a known issue perhaps?

Re: merge faces (again)

Gottschi Some of the faces in your model are B-spline surfaces. There is also an issue with flipped normals. And even if adjoining faces are flat and seem to have parallel normals there are in fact small deviations. We don't know how this shape was created, but something must have gone seriously wr...

Re: How to rotate a Curved Line (handrail for a staircase)

The classic solution is to create two extrusions and then use Cut (or Intersection? but I could not get that to work). See attached file.
