I'm fairly new to Cinema 4D and I can't find anything on this (I've been searching for a few days). I did a quick pic of what I'm trying to do in paint (below). I'm trying to make it go all the way around, like a torus, but a sorta box shape (with rounded edges). It's gotta be something simple that I'm missing.... Could someone please help? :(

*NOTE* The red part is the strap

I would just model a series of splines around the cross shape and apply a sweep nurbs to them.

I'd just use a cub primitive, with rounded corners. If you want a quickie. The spline will work better if you need a more detailed job.
