Hi Steve, also to answer your actual question - Sweep is probably the right tool for what you're trying to do.

It's a little hard for me to be 100% sure because I only see just one view of your model there and it's a little bit hard for me to understand the full shape that you're trying to create. When you post a question, it can really help if you also attach the 3DM model file with your actual objects in it so I can actually load the model file and look at it from various angles and zoom in on it, etc... all of which can't be done with just a screenshot.

- Michael

You can also use the Revolve command, choosing the center axis of the bracelet and choosing you profile. Same result.

There are about three other ways I can think of to get the same result, MoI is good that way.

Big Thank you to everyone that responded.

I managed to get what I wanted using both sweep and revole and learnt a bit more about MoI :)

In my book, any day you learn something is a good day :)
