if there was no video editing software to cut out pauses for thought, I suspect about 10
Which makes a good exercise! :D

Interesting... The last time I used such a face base work flow (for solid-modelling) was with Catia V4 before Solid-E was stable. Does anyone remember?

But anyway, it seems to be a valid result for the challenge.

So what? Does it make it a better solution?

That's how we designed in the '90s! :roll: More than 20 years of progress ignored...

I think it's solved very well. How long did it take? are the binders from part-design?

I didn't time it, I was exploring the use of the subshapebinder. But, it took less than 5 minutes.

I was exploring because it is indeed the one from Part Design.

This is a quite interesting solution, I learnt 2 things from your design:
- SubShapeBinder can be used without a Body container
- Part Loft can use a single vertex as one of its ends.

Yes, indeed an interesting way to do it.

Did you recognize that your model is hollow (underside)?
Cheers,
