I got it again Mayaniac. Painful but got it. Drew my shape on face of poly, then deleted the main face, bridges to edges, filled holes and split poly to get the shape right. Extremely long winded.

I don't mind at all. Key hole looks good.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

the other alternative is to keep it separate and use a mental ray node called mia round corners and link that into the bump node of your shader. that wil blend the two surfaces together. Hope that helps
