: It's a really cool tutorial if you ask me...

I just ran through the tutorial and it is very good, a few things that confused me ( I'm sure the answer will make me feel studiper than I do asking the question!), the second photo in the tutorial has no lines to mark where the rotated sectors were, this kind of messed me up, becuase when I use the "perfect poloygon" technique there are always lines that mark off where the original cleaved sectors were. If you adjoin all the wall surfaces, once the polygonal sector is finished, then delete them, then cleave off the bottom and the top so there are no longer any of the original sector lines left, is this what the picture represents? Like, I said...I have a feeling I may be missing something, but that is my first guess. The tutorial itself seems very clear, especially when you are reading and creating the pipes at the same time.
Sorry if my question isn't too clear, I'm not sure how else to present it...I'll give it another try and see if it works out like that for me!
