I'm totally stuck when it comes to this part. Hopefully someone could show me a way how to do parts like this.
I'm looking for a way to extrude the bottom surface to the 3D-curve. Or split a part or something with the 3D-curve so I will get a orbicular part that follows the 3D-curve. I'm totally lost on this one..

Hi Emil,

I have attached what I think your asking. Let me know if its correct.

[attachmentid=6143]

Basically a series of Loft surface Intellishapes

Tom's approach will work. You could do the top surface as a patch surface (as a parasolid model) as well. However, it will have edges since is is not smooth.

Actually that was exactly what I was looking for, I tried the Patch tool in surface but it did not create a top surface. I saw that you created one more 3D-curve (part 223) I did not tried that. I need to practice some more on surface modeling in IRONCAD.
Thanks a lot, this helped me much! biggrin.gif

Yeah I found that when i created the Patch durface in Parasolid it wasn't really smooth and I felt that it was more of a "dirty" surface Hence why I added the extra curve.

Note, the added curve was a stright line, if you make it an arc curve, you might get better results.
