Quote - Wow, elegant, LuxXeon!! I'll have to have a go in Blender... 😄 thanks for this. :thumbupboth:

Awesome. Let me know how it goes, and post the results if you can.  If you get stuck, just post about it and I'll try help you out.

I didn't invent the technique of course; it's been illustrated in several other tutorials out there for everything from chairs to pillows, but most of the other tuts I've seen didn't keep the procedure parametric (keeping all the vertex and edge operations contained in their own layers in the modifier stack).  If you can do that in Blender, I highly recommend it; especially for the vertex chamfering and edge selections.  If possible, try to save your selection sets along the way, in case you want to adjust them later.

Once you do it one time, you will find the procedure quite simple, and will probably find your own shortcuts and things to help speed things up.  Good luck, and definitely let me know how you make out.
