Hello,

Here it is, no audio but it should be easy enough to follow along, under 7 minutes which is comparatively short for me. I must have picked a wrong edge to create one of the planes late in the video because it wouldn't get watertight, so I just deleted and tried again. It's rough and some things could be streamlined but I figure it helps to leave those sort of things in there to show mistakes and how to work through them. I hope it's helpful.

Much appreciated! I didn't know blend would automatically create the perfect curve!

Question: Why did you use sweep instead of extrude when creating the first set of walls? And what exactly was the problem with the first non-water tight join?

Thanks again!

Hello,

No particular reason, extrude works fine on the walls and will leave you with a solid. I guess it goes to show there's more than one way to come come up with the desired result in MoI. If you need to create walls that do not follow a linear path Sweep is one way to get that result while using Blend (shown in green) to connect those walls with desired continuity, as shown here in this image. As far as the solid issue goes I think I must have not selected the correct edge to create the upper plane, I try to remember to hide the curves when doing those sort of surfacing operations so I am able to pick the correct surface edges, that's my guess anyway.
