I was given the following part, and I need help completing it. I am totally out of my league with this one:
The radius' of the bend are all different. The part has a twist.
I'm pulling my hair out here (what's left of it).
I'm using Inventor Standard 2014.
I would appreciate any effort.

Assuming you are looking to do nothing more then fill the void around the bend?

I didn't take the time to make perfect.
Well, now I can't add attachments?
Ok, got it with a different browser.

Thank you Professor Mather.
Can I assume, since it was a step file, that you used another program to complete the bends?
and, Btw, what browser did or didn't work?
I appreciate this forum and all of those who assist newbies like me.
I know this part isn't perfect, but this is how far I got until I saw that JD beat me to the punch.
I think you can see I had a couple of profiles and guide curves that I was bringing together.
Anyway, maybe it will help you ultimately.

No problem. Is this part imported from Solidworks? I ask, because I have SW 2011 that I could try it in.

I used only Autodesk Inventor, but thought my quick and dirty "solution" was a little rough - so didn't want to post my dirty laundry here.
Frankly - if it were my part I would use this file to remodel the part correctly from scratch.

Here's my approach. It took some time, finding the best way.

Hi, there,
I tried by loft and looks simple, but may not what you want. You need sheet metal, right!
RGD!
