Hello people,

Having limited experience with building as yet, I took it for granted that a rectangle cannot be made to have rounded corners. Yet recently, I have seen just that. Can anybody tell me how to give a box rounded edges?

Thanks,
Xylo

Box in the center, path cut to .5 cylinders on all four sides, path cut to .25 spheres at the corners. Only takes 9 prims to make a round edge box. :)

Oops! Thanks for that answer, Abba, and I'm sure I'll be able to use it for greater builds. But for furniture those 9 prims are prohibitive, I'm afraid...struggling hard as it is to keep the prim count down. Sometimes manage to use only 3 or 4 prims, but more than, say, 8, I wouldn't want to get to. I don't imagine many people can stash away all that many prims, just for furniture...
