Thanks everyone for the input. I did rebuild it from scratch and it looks great (tho I'll go back to the other one for some practice). One question, does it matter if you take a solid and cut everything from it vs drawing a closed curve outline and extruding it to a solid and then cutting from it?

Also with Trim, how does it know what direction to take the cutting plane from?

Thanks,
Scott
