Create Rounded Tip

Hello,

 

I am creating this play sword and trying to figure out how to make a rounded tip for the end. 

As the screenshot shows I created two arcs and intersected them, but I cannot figure out how to fill them in. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

 

You could start with the basic shape.

Making the end elliptical in two directions is possible but why not make the profile of the end and revolve around

the long axis of the ellipse and change from cut to join.

Should work fine.

 

Cheers

I would use Loft with a Point profile, set tangency on both profiles.  You just need a sketch with a single point:

Then use Loft, as shown in this video:
