Hi,
Not sure I understand your first question right so I'm going to
skip it for now and answer the computer keyboard key question, I would
model the key in the spline room and make the dip in the top using a
boolean subtraction with a cylinder or sphere, depending what kind of
key you want. I think that would be the easiest way, then you could
always bevel the top edges in the vertex room later. BTW do you have
Carrara 3.01? If not the boolean may be alot more of a pain, might
have to clean up a few stray vertices. Good luck!
Sincerely, Leviathan
