    I know, only an Engineer would do that :)

    I am designing a ring for my self.

    Very simply, a simple rotated sector to make the band. But I would like
    to cut a meander around the ring and fill it with another metal. How do I go
    about that ?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi George

    try my example

    http://www.construction-3d.de/misc/Ring_meander2.zip

    project a curve on a surface and sweep any profile along this path
    then make a circular pattern and you have your material to fill.
    To cut the material from the ring use the cavityfeature

    not strictly true, most of us are shallow as a duck pond, it's just that the
    few deep ones are infinitely deep........
