Dear Jesse,
thank you. Yes, it makes sense, got it.
I am actually checking all your answers to me of the past weeks and your samples files (infact, I took those profiles from a ring you designed, having a scaling rail....., but I wanted something simpler to do step by step) and tutorials and there are many, many useful info for me.
So, again thank you.

Last night I di some filigree work on a surface, which turned out OK, and my next step is hollowing things. For pendants, I think the revolve option is best.

For rings I am still thinking (I hope my brain won't start smoking).
Again, you have been an incredible help...and Michael as well, that seems having a supernatural power of taking care of everybody, and all the others that responded.
Thank you,
Rudy
