How would I make this?

[DividedByZero]

A half pipe. I tried taking a cylinder and subracting out of a brick, but instead of it making the desired half pipe shape in the brick, it made a square shaped cut! Is there a differn't way to do this?

Try messing around with curves > bevels.

Still cuts square. Do you know where I can find a tut or curves?

Note that you should never use CSG Subtract. Ever. Never ever ever never ever. Do not build subtractively. (I think...that's..a word... )

 

Build additively. Put in each part of what you're building as an addition to the last towards the goal of having a complete object.

Simple

 

Just make a standard square/rectangular brush and the while it's still seleceted go to Curve>End Cap.

 

This will create the disired half pipe curve that you need however it will be on it's side. To fix this, just go to Selection>Rotate>Rotate X.

 

You should now have a half pipe, all you need to do now is resize it to you're desired dimensions.

 

And for the final touches go to Curve>Cap>Inverted Endcap.

 

That's it, cant' make it any easier than that.
