Creating a smooth face across multiple offset faces/edges

I am trying to create a model to 3D print showing volume by cross section. I created the model with cross sections and want to have a model showing the smooth curve volume it represents. I cannot figure out how to create the smooth surface model from the stacked slice model. I've looked for videos on using the form function, but just can't figure out how to make it work. Pic of what I'm looking to do

I have the cross section square model on the right made. I need to smooth it out like on the left.

Please attach your model so the Forum users can work with it.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Thanks guys. I figured I was making it more complicated than it needed to be.
