OK. I moved it in this forum :

I am making this black joint around the window:

Then, I can use union to add the joint to the body (I hope union is working OK).

To do this quickly with the Extrude tool, some enhancements would be needed (I can do it some other ways but not as direct):
1. Backdrop image in XZ plane
2. Curve type: line (to match more easily with the XZ backdrop image and lower polygons count: one edge in this window would correspond to one section of the object)
3. (items 1 and 2 are more important) In XY window: ability to mirror as, in this case, the section is symmetrical

Thanks in advance Richard for your feedback.

They all seem useful. Extrude will be undergoing quite a few changes in upcoming releases which may make this unncessary.

This post should really be in the ‘7.0 suggestions’ forum. If not, I’ll forget all about it. I don’t normally look through this forum beyond the active posts.

I’ll be moving it to the correct forum a little later.
