Hi guys!

Could you please advise as how to mesh the sharp tip of an engine spinner? My first attachment shows what I've got. Don't bother with element sizes, I've set a course mesh indeed.

I reckon I should not split the block as I did in the 1st image and put the 4 vertices in a single point, that is, the tip. This would give me quite skewed elements, not good.

A way out is to do something similar to my 2nd attachment.

Now the question, how I make it? It's not mine and I can't quite figure his blocking strategy and how he managed to do it. I've been trying not successfully as my 3rd attachment shows.

So, any ideas?!

Cheers
