Anything wrong with just tracing it with vertexes?

HI Ryan,

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with how you did that.

There are in modeling often several ways to achieve the same or similar results and you can just use whatever is easier for you.

I agree with Martin. There's tons of way to achieve the same result, it's all about how you feel most comfortable. We also tend to accumulate bad habits along the way, it's hard to get rid of those, that also happens. But overall, all roads lead to Rome eventually.
