I'm sorry to ask this but I suspect this is one of my big problems with 
making scenes look realistic...

When I define an object (let's use a round stand), I would do something 
like:

A vertical cylinder to represent the top of the stand
a torus to round the edges of the stand
a vertical cylinder to represent the side of the stend.

I'm doing all this to give the shape soft/rounded edges

(hope this makes sense) but although I can do it in simple cases, to do it 
for (say) a box would require 3 boxes, 12 cylinders and 8 spheres.

Is this the only way? Is this how it was done for individual blocks in the 
P.b-i "Yet Another CGSphere Entry" post ? or is there some way to "erode" ?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
S
