i am making a lotus petal for one of my projects, i tried to follow allow the steps from YouTube but for some reason i am not able to make a void though the solid mass. it shows orange when I

Make the surface larger so that its edges don't touch the inside border of the void and the void's ref points.

By the way, I think could make the leaf on its own without the void.  Share the family here.

Thank you so much. But may I know what my mistake was?

I just deleted yours and re-did it.  I'm not sure what was wrong with yours.  Didn't spend any time trying to figure it out either.

I just wanted to change the scale. I can't do it if I don't know how to make it that's the reason i asked you. but i guess i will just use your file. Thank you it is really helpful. saves me time.

Here is one without a void (2024).

Have you tried what I said to fix yours?

Are you saying that you are not able to delete it and recreate it yourself? If you are able to, like I was, then that's the solution.  Sometimes "stuff" happens.    

[sak9537]

tried it but dint work. maybe i am not doing it right. But I will try doing it again. Thank you.

What do you mean by "I just wanted to change the scale"? 

[sak9537]

changing the size of it or the angle.

You mean flexing it via changing the Parameters?  Yah, I agree with @ToanDN. It doesn't flex to well with the Void approach.  I would follow @ToanDN suggestion if you're intending to deviate much from this shape.  

[barthbradley]

Funny. Even the guy in the video is resolving issues with the void towards the end.

Here is how I have fixed it exactly the way I described:

1. Make the surface larger.

2. Cut geometry:

thank you. I tried it and it works!!
