3d modeling problem

[JimFabLabFulton]

I am working on a 3d model in aspire and when I merge two items I am have a problem with the second item keeping the first items curvature from a 2 rail sweep.

I am trying to put a base on soccer ball. Think trophy. I am making.
But my base has the same curvature as the ball after the merge. Any ideas?

Can you post a preview picture of whats happening. Just throwing some thoughts out not knowing if either will help you. But turn one component off and or baking components.

Possibly the order of each component in the list? Drag/move one above the other. Depending on the combine mode, each will interact differently with the previous component.
