Hi! Could anyone please tell me how I would copy this design to go around the entire plant pot I am designing? I’ve tried projecting it around but it ends up warping the design. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

Here’s a Q&D representation. **Copy-Rotate** the cylinder and use the **Intersect** tool.

You’re a genius Mike. Your posts are always worth reading. I’ve previously struggled with making tyre treads with Projection and seeing them warp more and more as I worked around the tyre circumference.

Intersection was the answer all along. Thanks 👍👏
