Applying & Adjusting the Profiles

8. Apply the profile to the curves

Use Apply Element from the Outliner: select the profile first, then the curve it should follow, and press Enter. Repeat for the other curve.

9. Correct the lower profile width if it protrudes

If the lower profile sticks out, edit the center profile and widen its lower section with the Gumball until it aligns — 1.44 mm in the example — and accept.

10. Create the lower profile support surface

Move the surface to another layer so you can hide it, then select the curve and extrude it by holding Shift and dragging the Gumball sphere — this surface will carry the lower profile.

11. Apply and orient the lower profile

Apply Element again: one of the profiles onto the lower curve. Edit it, add the new surface to the selector, and if the orientation is wrong, the same Flip trick fixes it.

12. Trim the cap and reposition the lower profile

Adjust the cap’s start and end so nothing sticks out — 0.4 mm and 0.80 mm in the example. Then select curve, profile and surface together and reposition the lower profile from the Top view with the Gumball, disabling Grid Snap for finer movement.

13. Prepare the structure for gemstone placement

Review the full structure, then move the surface to its layer so only the profile skeleton remains visible, and return to the Top view. Remember: this is an organic model — dimensions and placement are yours to adjust.
