Hey Michael !! You´re amazing - thank you so much !!

Its strange to be in absolute beginners-status again and have to
ask silly questions ;-) If I ask to much just tell me to shut-up ;-)

But I really went through the manual several times and tried
several options . . . I am adding the file where I where not
able to close the ends as well as to extrude them and round
the edges.

Here another question : Is it possible to "insert cuts" in order
to gett additional points for manipulation ? Imagine a cylinder
with no points between its ends. And you want to enlarge
its diameter in its middle ? Or any surface you need to
"subdvide" in a ceratin area as you need to maipulate its
shape there?

Even just having learnt the very basics I realize I may be able to
save LOTS of time compared to Cinema ?

Thanks again for your fantastic support + regards [TOM]
