Abstract: The Levi geometry at weakly pseudoconvex boundary points of domains in C^n, n geq 3, is sufficiently complicated that there are no universal model domains with which to compare a general domain. Good models may be constructed by bumping outward a pseudoconvex, finite-type Omega subset C^3 in such a way that: i) pseudoconvexity is preserved, ii) the (locally) larger domain has a simpler defining function, and iii) the lowest possible orders of contact of the bumped domain with �dyOmega, at the site of the bumping, are realised. When Omega subset C^n, ngeq 3, it is, in general, hard to meet the last two requirements. Such well-controlled bumping is possible when Omega is h-extendible/semiregular. We examine a family of domains in C^3 that is strictly larger than the family of h-extendible/semiregular domains and construct explicit models for these domains by bumping.
