Designing a airship/creating creases

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have been trying to design a 3D model of a rigid airship in Fusion.  I was able to make the general smooth cigar-shape of the balloon by using the scale tool on a sphere (see attached). 

However, I have been unable to find a way to create the creases or lines on the balloon which all converges into a single point, the main difference in appearance between a Goodyear blimp and the Hindenburg.  I would appreciate any suggestions/tips on how to do this. 

Thanks in advance!

Hey timothy.goyal,

Are you trying to build the object out of flat panels? Fabric?

Use the loft command between a sketch with the ribs shown and a point (tangent mode).

Thank you very much for your help @I_Forge_KC.  I was able to use that technique to create the flat panels as I had wanted.
