Create organic shape

[Anonymous]

I want to create an organic shape within the blue lines I have there. I just patch in the second photo, but was told that I shouldn't do that. Tried using loft instead, but couldn't get it to work. Should in the and be a 2mm shell that looks like picture 2.

In the other thread, you started you mentioned having problems thickening.

My main concerns were offset splines, which almost always have broken curvature, which can lead to problems with a thickening.

The spine on the top is the original one, the one on the bottom with the spikes  is the offset one:

My other concern was the bottom, where you use a patch to create a surface:

If you take a look at that surface with Inspect-Curvature map you'll in areas which are less than ideal. That also can lead to problems with a thickening.

As this looks like a trimmed egg shape you might be better off lofting a complete half-egg shape and then trimming off the bottom. That will create a much better surface, which should thicken without problems.

I've created and attached a model to explain what I mean with the trimmed egg. Hopefully, you can gain some insights into new ideas from it.
