twist rectanglar tube

Hi,

Im trying to reproduce the part attached. Its a rectanglar alumin tube. .320 x .180 approx an inch long.

I tried lofting 2 sketches but the result does appear like  the attached image.

What command should I be using?

Hi!

 

You can use Loft to achieve that. You have to edit the transition rails.

Yeah I thought it had something to do with the rails.

A simple loft does not achieve what I want. I will give it a try. Thanks
