    Yes, that RAF that's what I'm looking for, I knew it could be done that away but, wasn't sure how to word it or explain what I wanted to do. How did you get it to fill in around the ears?

    The straight lines are what i need for the lathe path and that was what I've been look for a easier way to do but how do i fill in around the ear or lugs. How do I get to the point where I can draw the lines. To me it looks like you made a solid and it wraps the model???

    I really appreciate all your guys help!!

    There are many ways to get your geom, this may be another way that would be easy to do also.

    I have Boolean subtracted most of the solid away just for simplicity (not really necessary)

    Create a surface (create its own layer) to rotate / rotate around X / X0 Y0 Z0 / rotate surface up in this example to where it captures the most ID of solid / Boolean subtract solid from surface / rotate surface back to X Y / Extract edges from solid (which in this case is the surface) / Blank surface / trim and join lines as needed.

    Hope this maybe helps.

    RAF.
