Please always mention the version of Inventor you are using so that others will know if they can open your model or not. It helps us to help you. Thanks!

Here is the whole image of what i am working on.

I decided to divide it on 3 parts, so that was the lower part that you were helping me with.

I guess i took too big morsel for my knowledge of inventor so i really need help 🙂

Can you help please?

LOL ... it's ok. We all have to design something ..

I make machines for womens makeup..

so you need it to be round and smooth ...

I'll work in it and see what I can do to help you. I have to leave a bit for today ...and I'm gone in the morning, But I'll be back. However I thin this can be done very easily in Freeform

thank you for comforting me 🙂

yes, it should be round and smooth, just like that lower part we were doing before.

i was also trying with freeform, but i guess with my only 2 months of inventor, have no enough knowledge to make it.

Is it possible to make a freeform item out of that already made shape i attached before?

Thank you very much.

Here is 9.25 p.m., i will be awake for some more time, otherwise i will be online tomorrow.
