How To Create an Irregular Shape to Fill the Missing Piece of a 3d Figure?

I'm trying to create a 3d figure of a dirt pile, showing how the dirt will slope down from the top of pile.  I had a similar issue weeks ago and someone commented to use a point and loft, which worked for that figure.  However, the shape required for this is very irregular, and I'm not able to select multiple points when using the loft command.  The 1st figure is what is missing, and the 2nd figure is the closest I've been able to get it, but it's still not flush with the rest of the pile.  If anyone has any suggestions/answers please let me know and I would greatly appreciate it.  

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I suggest to try by using PRESSPULL (Command) .

Press pull doesn't achieve the sloped angles I need unfortunately.

I appreciate both your response, but in both you have adjusted the top of pile figure, which has to stay exactly as I show it in the figure.  The missing piece needs to slope down flush with all angles, I was imagining using loft with multiple points, but I can only select one point when using loft.  You can see in the below image I almost have it done, with the top of pile shape not changing, if I could just figure out how to fill in the missing piece with a sloped angle similar to the ones I've used.

@csiegismundQVLRB ,

 

You will need to do some work using the commands in the Ribbon to get what you want.

I was able to achieve the slope and figure I wanted by drawing numerous shapes, adding a point, and lofting multiple times.  I added a couple wedges and union'd them altogether.  It took awhile and I'm sure there's a faster/more efficient way, but ultimately it did work.

Thank you guys for your suggestions.

Thank you, I went ahead and did this and just played around with the different shapes and commands till I got it.
