I am Trying to continue these fluted profiles around this radius corner and the circular pattern bit does not work for it. Can anyone please give some insight on how i can do this?? have been trying to figure it out for days

Hi Liam,  
Since you have a radius, you can use the pattern tool. Select a flute on your sketch and move the gizmo to the center of the radius arc. Then you can create the pattern.

If you had a more complex curve than radius, I don’t know a good way…

Minor point. Yes, the **Pattern** tool is the way to go for both the horizontal flutes and the curved flutes. Make only a couple of flute sketches and extrude them. Now use the **Pattern** tool on the flute bodies accordingly. Again, a minor point.

And…Merry Christmas! 🙂

Hi Mike!  
_Minor points are good points!_ I guess I’ve been focusing on my sketches _too much_ with HBPM. You are absolutely correct, to apply the **pattern** tool to the body instead of the sketch. In the beta, when the **pattern** is on the **sketch** , the details (center point, angle, qty) **are lost**. However, when the **pattern** is applied to a **body** , those parametric details **are kept** , and therefore are editable!

Thank you! And, Merry Christmas!
