Suggestions on modeling this decorative object

@eppo Thanks for taking the time to describe the workflow a little better. I’m going to mess around with it over the next few days and see if I can understand it a little better. But just to confirm… If I add that script into a 2.72 b official file …do you think it will work?

@michalis Yea I agree, I always try and take the path of least resistance where possible. But I have often had trouble inseting on certain shapes. Just curious did you get that PM I sent you a few weeks ago?

Here’s what I got with your file. I just converted your curve to a mesh and used Spin to make the arch part. The rest is nothing but the Shear tool + whatever axis +1 or -1.

I know, i just love to complicate things. As did that guy at the steam engine some time back ;).

I did test it on 2.72b from blender.org - yes it works.
