Hello everyone,

I am currently trying my hand at a vase and wanted to add some grooves to the side. I already have the basis for it. Now I want the edges of the groove (on the right in the picture) to form a clean transition to the vase. I have already tried replacing the faces, adding an axis rotation or working with the rounding and chamfering tool. But unfortunately not with the desired result. I have circled the position from where to where the groove should go and the desired shape of the groove.

Thank you in advance for your time.

One way is to sweep a shape down your profile on the right side. Make a plane on a curve and draw e.g. a triangle. Then use the sweep tool and then the pattern tool. Wallah!

You can use the sweep tool to add material or cut material away.

A search of this forum will show many detailed ways to do this on vase like bodies
