I'm trying to model the highlight area of the attached model but each time I use to boolean tool set to difference, my edges in the render do not taper off as smooth as the original. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

1$\begingroup$ Hi :). This might be easier done manually without booleans. The corner geometry will be a lot cleaner. $\endgroup$– jachym michalSep 28, 2021 at 14:17

$\begingroup$ This looks like normals problems, and the geometry might be correct. Are you using auto smooth? $\endgroup$– TheLabCatSep 28, 2021 at 14:18

$\begingroup$ @JachymMichal that's where I struggle when it come to the manual side of thing haha ... I started off manually but kept running into issues with the geometry. As a newbie I'm sure there's still some figuring out to do. How would you approach it? $\endgroup$– Ochaya DesignsSep 28, 2021 at 14:26

1$\begingroup$ @TheLabCat I didn't actually think of normals!!! I am using auto smooth though. Thanks for your prompt reply btw $\endgroup$– Ochaya DesignsSep 28, 2021 at 14:28

Just an example of a possible topology :)
To fill faces use Vertex > New Face (Shortcut: F)
And if you don't like n-gons, simply connect the vertices across as well.
