	Hello Abdul, if you want to "add" the groves I think that it would rather be a "material removal" instead, that's to say that you will EXTRUDE the groves and then SUBTRACT them of the initial 3D solid. This will work in case of your original fins thinner than the total heigth, otherwise you will have to modelize the groves and then UNION them to the rest. I don't understand why you haven't extruded the final profile directly. In any case always keep each steps of your model at a given distance and with ortho on ( F8 ) so that you can come back if the result is not OK. Note : Texture is an other thing, it's got to see with a "realistic" rendering of your 3D solid and you would have to apply a material to do this. Edited by philippe JOSEPH - 06.Jan.2024 at 10:04
