    cansomeone help with is. I'm trying to make a 3D funnel, but this isn't a regular funnel look at the drawing.

    I can use revolve but that gives me a circular type funnel.

    Hi,

     

    draw upper contour, lower contour and use command _LOFT.

    Then you can assign a shell.

     

    Good luck, - alfred -

    I don't see any Loft feature in this file.  In fact it is all 2D?

     

    Your other posts indicate you have access to Autodesk Inventor.

    Wouldn't this design be far far far far easier to do in Inventor (and easier to show you how to do it as there is a history tree)?

    I would do it exactly the same in AutoCAD as I would do it in Inventor.

    Attach your ipt file here.
