Trying to create a non-uniform sweep for complex curvature/surfacing

[bmartinek]

Hi, 

I'm trying to make some complex surface geometry, for the end of a bike light. I've looked into a sweep, loft, patch and revolve but none seem to do the job, or I am not using them correctly. Most likely the latter.

Any suggestions to create this would be greatly appreciated. I've created two profiles to help describe it.

Hey @bmartinek ,

Could you please explain "none seem to do the job"? Please make a screencast and show us exactly what you are trying to do and what doesn't work.

Cheers / Ben

Hi,

It´s important that the rails are connected to the profile (ellipse and point).
The rails are designed as splines and run tangentially into the end points and turning point.
