Hello Ed, I tried your version out. Thank you for that suggestion, and also very much for the other ideas where I learn very much in deed.

Ok, Ed, if I follow your steps my result is almost good. Your version looks much slimmer then mine at the peak. Is is a question of the perspective or is your slimmer in deed?

If by "slimmer" you mean the hump should not be as wide as the diameter of the "pipe", then try reducing the depth of the notch so it does go to the center line of the pipe. This will reduce the length of the arc in the D shape ends of the notch.

I already tried that.
May you perhaps put your file in here please ?

If you want the hump to be pointier at the top, you could also add more profiles to the sweep, with a pointy one in the middle.

Here's with 3:

I´m near at my idea of the shape.
Then I thought - yeah - then I noticed the seam...
What is this?
This brings me again to my all time question - what is the difference of Bool/Connection and the normal connection command?
Because I´m not sure, I do both mostly - first the bool then the normal connection...but...seams....

Hi Lara,

re:

That's a display artifact from the display mesh having "T" junctures along the edge areas. There may be a couple of pixel dropouts in the shaded display at surface edges.

The export mesher does not make T junctures, if you do a mesh export you should see those will go away:

Fine! This is good...Thanks to you All for your patience and help...

A perfect method! :)





Free to you to regulate the Bulge! (here it's a little excessive and of course altitudes of surfaces can be regulated too! :)

Hi Frenchy, thanks for your suggestion. But, malheuresement, this is not the shape I tried to reach...

It's not the shape because above Bases of form Up & Down are not tangent to the Tore!
I will see if that will match! :) (when i will have 5 minutes)

The Blend function is fun but effectively that will not done exactly obtain that you want :)

Maybe the SUBD like shown by Burrman is another possible way... :)

Several faces can be Subdivided in the same time with the same dimension! (here just 2 faces - Up Down one by one)
