Thanks for sharing it. It's very useful. I have a question: I want to make a planter pot. Conical, bottom smaller than top. That's easy. But how can I emboss a pattern to it, and that it closes seamlessly on the back? What ever I tried, I got weird results.
It's possible but take some work. I'd use the thinking in this video on how to put hexagons on a cylinder ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AYbnTJxNODI.html if the pattern repeats around the cone, and this video on how to put text on a cone ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pud1-mZBGdo.html. If the pattern is more of a spiral style I'd use a surface sweep and work from that. What I'm trying to explain is that it depends a lot on the typ of pattern.
Didn't work for cuts unfortunately. When trying to perform a helix cut into a cylinder, it left faces in the cut of the object as if the curves are calculated differently.
