Hi Ed!
Thanks for the Flow Tut! Ive attached a pic! Totally understand it now. Here's an issue that I'm running into and Im sure I'm doing something wrong. When i attempt to do a boolean difference on the ring nothing happens. I select the ring as the base and the pattern as the subtract. It then proceeds to calculate but nothing happens. any ideas?

Hi Mikey, re: booleans - it can be difficult for booleans to handle cases where objects have overlapping surface areas where they are just barely skimming through each other.

So because of that when you do a flow it can be a good idea to make the objects stick some distance pushing through the object rather than trying to place them with their bottoms or tops just skimming right along the same surface area.

Got it! Thanks again Michael!
