Another great one Ben. If someone had asked me to draw this it would have taken me hours and lots of frustrating trial and error. Most likely I would have created angled planes and cut extruded or “shaved off” the surfaces from a sphere. You have shown such an elegant simple and quick way to do it. Awesome!

Cool video. Funny how sometimes simple geometric shapes can be tough to model. I tried finishing it and struggled to find the easiest most efficient way to fill all the sides with surfaces. I ended doing a planer surface and various circular patterns with skipped instances. I’m curious to see how this pans out.

You pretty much have it You need 4 surfaces and if done right (I dont do it right in the next video) one revolved pattern around the axis
