Just use the Crease tool (at least that's what its called in Subdivide & Smooth), and click on each of those vertices. The Crease tool icon changes from Red when uncreased to Green when creased. There's not a visible effect right away on the model, but you'll be able to tell the difference after running the plugin. ...or in this case, Jeff's way is simpler, but you'll still want to crease the end vertices before subdividing so you get square ends.

Thanks to ninopiamonte, shri, d12dozr, mitcorb for your kind words. I'll try to add new examples regularly. If you have any ideas for simple geometries, let me know or feel free to share them here too...

Go Cotty! The bed is great. I would love to see more of the 'making of' you were
mentioning earlier.

Thanks! Here are some steps of the making of the bed: cotty_bed_makingof.jpg The making of the wine glass is in the .skp: - Draw lines on picture - Follow me with hexagon - Subdivide with Artisan (The wine is a copy of the inner glass with a little scalefactor and closed top face) Please, register (free) to access all the attachments on the forums.

why do you need subdivision to do this? can't you just followme a circle instead of exagon? or i'm missing something?

You are right, but then it would not fit in this post  (in German we would say "mit Kanonen auf Spatzen schießen", something like "shoot with cannons at sparrows"...) Last edited by cotty on Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:46 am, edited 1 time in total.
