Making a small water spout extrusion

I want to add this spout to the green component pictured. How can i warp it to extrude down and away from the plane it was on?    Research makes me think that a loft could work but I can't find anything to show me a strategy.    I've got about 3 months of fusion experience.

hi @jimmberry please enter your work.

but if you want to try it yourself, go to the "surface area".

click on your area and convert it to t-splines.

form your part and finish form. **** your surfaces together into a volume bod. take a look into demo.f3d

This taught me a lot, thank  you.   I was able to replicate what you did by stepping through the history and looking at some videos.

 

I need to pull the spout down -- not just out.   So i modified the form both ways in the linked example.

 

The problem i have now is that since the patched top is curved an not on a single plane, i don't know how to delete the inside hole that got created. 

 

I tried to create a 3d sketch but I can't figure out how to delete the inside.   Can you give guidance on that?

 

I've attached the demo file i'm working with.

This was very educational.  I was able to replicate what you did. Trickier than it seems.  Thank you!

I have made an attempt using surfacing. I tried this on a rectangular and a circular beaker. But there were some strange artifacts during thickening, specifically a split line at the bottom of the spout. Hoping that some of the surfacing veterans here can review and give some pointers on the quality of the surface.
