Lotus flower petal mesh

[Anonymous]

Hello

I am trying to create a 3d lotus petal from a closed polyline and an open polyline touching the vertices of the closed polyline.

I am happy with the 3d drawing as i have used plan and side view reference material to get it right, the problem i now face is how to create a mesh from it? I would like to sweep along the entire closed polyline at the top, and use the bottom line as a guide to create a curved petal shape.

Is there any way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Berance.

If no, please attach the images of reference material you used to create profiles?

I'm not sure exactly which shape of the petal you want to have, but here is my way:

See attached drawing for details.

If you are more familiar with Fusion, you can do this in Fusion.

Could you please tell me how you went from your drawing to the actual petal. I have tried every way I can think of to make the drawing into a petal.  Photo enclosed.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you use AutoCAD or Fusion?

I am using fusion 360.

Sorry, but I don't use Fusion and cannot help you.
I'd suggest you to ask your question here:
