Did you unwrap the face first? If so, I assume it didn't come out in the shape of the face (my experience is that unwrapping faces always produces a perfect rectangle). I ask because I was experimenting with this and I had a face that was smaller on one end but when I unwrapped it, it came out as a perfect rectangle. I though deform with fit it in to the face for me but it didn't.

@Vyacheslav Kudrya When you unwrap in blender, the result conforms the the faces you unwrapped. I assumed when I unwrapped, I could use it as a guide for placing objects - here is an example - I unwrap the top face but it isn't perfectly square, I add a bunch of curves that fit the unwrapped face exactly, but when i deform, it doesn't follow the face.

@Daniel Martinez Thanks. Yeah, so many possibilities.

Last update - I am going to park this course. I will go over several small youtube videos to see what knowledge I can pick up - try something new.

@Steven Jenkins Yep - that's my approach.

@Lee Kolb Hmm, that is good to know but doesn't solve my issue. I was able to fix it by re-building but there has to be a way. Maybe if I had ensured the 2 edges I used to do the patch weren't split. Let me try that. Yep, that worked. Thanks. I will add that to my toolbox of things I know.

@Daniel Martinez It isn't. Trying all kinds of things. I feel like this will all be a good learning experience.

@Nick Fox Wow - thanks for taking the time. I am using control point curves. It is the only way to create tangency when creating the top/bottom guide.

I decided to rebuild the top line and it worked. I did it exactly the same way but who knows. Thanks to anyone who chimed in. I learned a lot.
