Michael, thanks again for getting back so soon and with such a complete answer. I would like to throw other "different" objects out there to see the most efficent way of constructing such shapes. After seeing the ease at which you created this shape after I've spent ages struggling with polys, I think nurbs are the better option for non-organic shapes. It's now just a matter of learning each tool and it's function.

I also wanted to let you know that I appreciate the UI of Moi. I'm visually impared and find the larger, clearer fonts and icons help me out, it's one less thing to deal with in learning a new package.

Cheers.
