Such great content Andrew. Thank you for sharing. Doing some experiments myself off the back of your videos - I’ll share them to LinkedIn & tag you when I do as your videos have been a big inspiration.

Sounds good, looking forward to it!

Amazing Andrew! Looks so good! Tony here BTW

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Hi Tony, yeah it scrubbed up ok :)

[@GenJRipper]

Hi AJ, Great content. Do you think this would work if the top surface has slight curvature rather than being a planar surface?

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Yes it will, but it'll require a fair amount of rework, both if it is an extruded top or compound curvature top.

[@GenJRipper]

@@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio It would be great to see your approach to applying this to one of the compound curved back iMacs.

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

I think that'd be tougher than the Macbook. Here's a link to a pic I took of our old iMac. You can see the edge is not planar in the corners. They've decoupled the rear from the corner. discourse.mcneel.com/t/how-to-create-a-curved-surface-on-a-rounded-square/137844/17?u=andrew9

The bottom screws are also gold colour on this model by the way.

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Good stuff. Not really my focus but thanks.

not sure why color matters in a CAD model but okay
