im working on a radiusd fretboard. the only way i was able to create it was in a 3d sketch. so basically im looking to turn it into a solid/body without extruding.  During extruding it seems to remove my radius , so im looking to avoid that, And get it ready for he cam portion.

thank you in advance.

Im brand new to cad/cam and cnc all together . im sure just missing something simple

If it's the same width, then extrude from the end.  If not, then use a loft.  Attach your file to the thread for more details (File|Export|Archive file (*.f3d)).
