    @adrian2301  Yeah your second image is closer. Everything except for the part on the top where the cylinder meets the square. That top needs to remain circular and only the side remains the square.

    Yeah, how did you “scale” the extra lateral loops on the cylinder to make it circular (did you just “eyeball it” while scaling in the local X and Y)? 

    I’m hoping for a precise solution as opposed to “eye balling it” haha. But yours and Spikey’s are really more like what I am trying to get at.

    When I make those extra loops using Ctrl R they don’t magically turn into a circular cross section and the sub-div now makes them appear even more-so like an octagon. Hope that makes sense? I guess I could bust out some of my engineering math to move them precisely but I was hoping for a modelers approach haha.

    Maybe starting over with a circle cross section with more edge loops would help give more geometry. Maybe the limits of the basic shape 8 sided shape are being pushed beyond their ability?
