Joining Two Form Bodies

[kellnerd]

Hello,

I am working designing a lamp within the Form workspace and below shows the issue I keep running into. Every time I use the merge edge function and even use the Repair utility, I keep getting a T spline error. Any help would be appreciated

Yep! Here's the f3d file attached

Take a loo at this topology and see if that is what you are looking for.
When joining T-Splines you need to consider the number of edges/faces when modeling either of the halves.

That's exactly it! I was wondering how you joined the faces from the stem to the base?

I can create a screencast later today.

Yes that would be amazing thank you! Very much appreciated

Here is the screen recording. It will YouTube still take over an hour (from the time of this post) to  convert the upload into 4K video, so be patient.
