Michael,
As always you're a life saver, thank you so much for this.

The ring size looks great but I'm afraid Im not sure I understand when you say "cut away
a little bit of the space around the ends."

I assume you mean here:



And if that's correct, please could you guide me how to do that?

Much appreciated!
Gunter

Hi Gunter, yes that's the spot.

Some space needs to be opened up there by drawing in some cutting lines and using the Edit > Trim command to slice the ends off of the resized part, then select edges and run Construct > Blend to make a smooth blend surface and finally Edit > Join to glue the pieces together.

I've attached a model where I've done that, the steps look like this:

Draw in cutting lines in Front view:


Select resized piece and use the Edit > Trim command to cut it with the lines to open up space like this:


Select edges and run Construct > Blend to fill in the space with a connecting surface:
