After seeing what you were trying to accompliesh I remembered this tutorial I bookmarked on YouTube that creates a similar effect but instead of deleting it was used to create a bottle decanter. You might find that you can do the same thing and this is for Blender thought I would share the link to the video think you might find it useful.

Oh, that's a wonderful tutorial!  Really elegant object.  Not quite useful for the geometry I was trying to achieve here, but definitely learned something new from it!  Love the way he created those triangulated bumps in the vase.  Wow.  So many interesting things can be made just from creating unusual edge patterns.

I'd love to 3D print a model like that.  hmmmmm.  Might be my next endeavor with Blender.  Imagine printing a vase like that, which you yourself modeled and built in Blender, and showing it off to all your family and house guests.  Amazing.

3D modeling in general is such a powerful and endless talent to learn.  There's so many incredible possibilities if you know how to model stuff.  Everything from printing still renders, to animations, to 3D printing, and so on.  I've already introduced my daughter to Blender, and she's gone through the famous cup tutorial on Youtube.  Her cup was a little lopsided, but she finished it, and rendered it in Cycles!  Quite an achievement for 11 yo!  Woo hoo! She already loves Blender.  Her next goal is to model some characters from the video game, Minecraft!   Maybe one day she'll be making games or movies in a studio. hehe.
