Hi Roger, you're welcome, I'm glad that technique worked for you!

That kind of strategy of "build it larger then cut pieces off" can be a helpful strategy in many circumstances with NURBS modeling.

It can take a while to get used to that method though if you are coming from a poly modeling background, since it is a much different approach from what you do in a poly modeler.

One thing that can help is if you kind of imagine how the thing would be manufactured - starting with some kind of simple piece of stock that then have parts cut off or holes drilled in it, etc... - some NURBS modeling strategies can often times tend to resemble that.
