Hi Brian,
Okay, okay, please don't scream at me... ;) ...after reading your post
and doing several attempts at lathing, I now know what my dilemma was.
I was reading the word "edge" as "vertex" and was clicking away at
the vertex instead of the adjacent edge. No wonder I got intermittent
results...when I slipped down and clicked an edge "by mistake", THEN
that's when it worked... So thanks for jarring my grey matter for me. :)
Now my other question is how to do the other vertex lathe technique
with using the ctrl+alt+click on a *vertex* (turns yellow) when a
straight polyline is used as an axis for a polygon. I've only done
this a few times before and obviously forgot a step with this one as
well. Whatever light on this that can be shed would be appreciated.
Thanks.
