Item 1 is the bottom of a shirt object. Item2 was made from copying the bottom of item 1 then pasting and dragging it down a little. Item 3 is the top of a lofted cylander. I had wanted to loft the bottom of item 3 to the top of item 2, but it kept giving me the following error: "Can't perform the action: select polylines dettached from any surface to use this tool" What is this exactly? I've tried running 'detact polygons', but that hasn't helped. The end product I desire is to fit item 3 onto item 1. The bottom of item 3 is a circle, and the bottom of item 1 is shaped to fit around the waist of a figure. I will be adding a few more lines in between these ends to get it to shape around the hips better, and to give me more polys along the 'dress', but my first task is to simply figure out the best way to attach whatever skirt I do design to the top piece, without altering the shape of the bottom of the shirt. Any advice?

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
