Yep like I have said a 1000 times negative space in in hard surface models is a royal pain.

I cut it out in the end with the split poly tool, might redo the whole lot as the mesh looks like a dogs dinner.............dave

I was thinking (I tried it and it worked) of using the 'create poly tool' then lay the new face on the can...combine.delete some faces and then bridge tool. I just dont know how to get the shape to stick to a surface first (only by hand)..or you could make the shape a cloth?? then drop onto it? object placement even...just theories
