Thanks, Michael.
I understand this method of creating the solid that I want. (It does make me chuckle though, since that curved outline was originally created by mapping a flat shape into the inside of cylinder using the curve command...8^D)
I do have another question though. I don't understand when you should use the trim command to do something like this and when you should use the boolean commands. Your uses of the boolean commands are not "intuitively obvious" to me (as one college professor told me when I asked him to help me with the solution to a problem. He said that the answer was "intuitively obvious" and just walked away).
Thanks for introducing me to the "rebuild" command. I will use that in many different situations. I thought that that was what I was getting when I used the "join" command. Obviously not.
Mark
