Moving on, delete your TurboSmooth modifier by right-
clicking and picking Delete. Now apply a Shell modifier to

around 1.7. This gives our sheath a nice thickness. Set
Segments to 5. This gives us some control loops to keep our
smoothing under control later.

Finally, add a TurboSmooth modifier on it! That was easy,
wasn't it? Just click that Exit Isolation Mode button on the
window you moved off to the side.
