Hi folks. For the first time in a very long time, I am having an issue joining pieces together. Would someone mind looking at this with a fresh set of eyes? Drawing is full size, inch scale.

Thank you!

Hello twofoot,

Your surfaces are skimming one another in a few instances and you happen to have little surface slivers in other cases which are preventing the surfaces from joining into a solid. In cases where I find surfaces not fitting together I step back and try to see if I can model the solid using more of a different command set. In this case I would use more Boolean operations using curves to prevent the surface skimming sort of issue you're experiencing.

Hi Chris, let me know if you are still stuck after the advice above.

Hello,

I can do a short video if you like on the workflow I used to create the solid.

If you don't mind, that would be helpful. Nice render BTW.

Thanks!

Hello,

The model reconstruction video is posted. Runtime is around 20 minutes.

I finally had time to watch your entire video. I really cannot thank you enough for the effort you put into making it.

I also learned I have some bad habits when it comes to modeling, and where to look for similar issues going forward.

Best,

Chris
