Darin, I think you got me & Michael confused. <g> You replied to his message, but address it to me. 🙂 >> I checked the docs for the SET LINE EDGE/FILL TO LINE EDGE and am still having a little trouble understanding it. I will just have to keep working at it. << What are you having difficulty with? There've been several messages recently that touched on how it's used. Where are you getting stuck? Here, do this….add a sphere. Enter points mode. Pick DRAG BOX selection method. Shift select the middle three cross-sections. Delete them. Now enter edge mode. Shift select the bottom cross-section of the top hemisphere. Select SET EDGE LINE. Now Shift select the top cross-section of the bottom hemisphere. Select FILL TO EDGE LINE. This will connect the two hemispheres with faces. This is a simple example, but it shows you how it works. The real power here is in that it's not necessary for the two edges you're going to connect to have the same point count as is necessary with the SKIN function. This SET/FILL EDGE LINE is also usefull in facing holes in object geometry.
