Using Sub-Division

Use subd feature for free-form etding of a shape
  • Sub-division editing offers a convenient way to edit shapes in a free-flow manner.
  • The resultant shape can be further modified using other shapes as usual
  • The remove face operation to create a tunnel or connect two faces works only when both faces are part of the same sub-division shape

The tool bar becomes visible when you edit a subd shape

Subdivide Mesh Entire mesh is subdivided. Increasing number of divisions will allow much fine grained control, but it will also slow down editing. Many times, desired effect can be achieved by selectively sub-dividing corner faces. Check Video
