Hey,

just following along with this tutorial
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&final_uri=discussion.php%3Fwebtag%3DMOI%26msg%3D5530.1

I seem to be stuck on the section with joining the spout onto the main bottle. I've revolved it, done a blend between the two surfaces, however the top won't join to the main body, any ideas why this might be the case?

Thanks

Hi rich, by default when you do a Revolve it will put end caps on planar openings to make the revolve a solid. That's what has happened here so your top revolve is a solid with no unjoined edges. Meanwhile the Join command only joins things together where unjoined edges touch each other.

So you'd need to either delete the bottom end cap or uncheck the "Cap ends" option in the Revolve command to get the unjoined bottom edge that could then be joined to another object.
