Can the shell be formed so that Revolution 2 only has not cut above Loft.Also can bottom of loft have a thickness of 20mm.If you remove the leg it would have a wall thickness of 4mm,not material at the top where it would join revolution 2 and thickness of bottom 20mm

I do not understand your design intent.

If you are having trouble with Shell, then create the Loft Feature first - before anything else.

The Revolve is easy.

This is how i want the shell on Revolution 2 and Loft 1.Is there a way to do this with shell or do i need to model differently

Looks like you have it to me?

Is there still a problem that isn't solved?

Hi! I think this case can benefit greatly from using multi-solid modeling workflows. Essentially, you want to make Loft and Revolve as separate solids (edit Revolve -> select New Solid option). Then you can shell each solid separately. Once you are done shelling, you can combine the two solids as one again.

Thanks!
