For those having a lot of problems I suggest playing around with Rhino more. I have learned mostly by playing around and trying commands to see what they do. I actually trimmed the handle in half lengthwise and mirrored the grip and joined it back together for grip on the underside to improve grip look. Remember, unless you are making a model for work or school, don't stress and have fun!!!! Great tutorial. For those having a lot of problems I suggest playing around with Rhino more.

I just finished my shovel. I followed your steps with no problems. Thank you so much. Done! I just finished my shovel. I followed your steps with no problems. Thank you so much.

I don't think total beginners can really follow this but to those people I would recommend reading through the tutorial pages in Rhino help and downloading the Level 1 Training manual from the Rhino site. Those should help you get more familiar with the basic commands of Rhino. Still working on this tut but it is quite a challenge.

That was a lapsus. p.s.

There is one little lapsus in the text but that shouldn't stop you from getting the right shape. So, you got your closed curve you made in your top viewport, and you got your ellipsoid solid object, you just need to project that closed curve onto the ellipsoid and cut the ellipsoid with the curves so you get your nice surface which then you can offset.

It seems that step has been skipped. can you elaborate? this has been a frustrating tutorial, Ive gotten to the part right before Offsetting the surface, but do not know how to make the “shovel” curve into a surface.

Not sure what you're saying, but it seems to me that you somehow missed the perspective view. When you start Rhino you should be presented with 4 views, three orthogonal and one perspective. The three orthogonal are actually views from top, right and front, while perspective represents your model in space in 3 dimensions. Normally if you look at the ellipsoid which is an object from either orthogonal view, then it would be presented to you as 2D shape, which in this case is ellipse or circle. or, you just need to right click on the perspective label and click on shaded to get full 3D representation of your model. The default is set to wireframe, which is one of the standard 3D viewport representations. and about the ellipsoid.
