Need help designing an object with curved surface on top front and side

Hey all,

 

I am looking for the best way to go about designing an object that has curves on the front, side and top. It's a battery pack I am rebuilding and I have tinkered with loft, and surface sweeps but I can't seem to get it right. I could probably pull it off with just extrudes and booleans but hoping to improve my modeling skills as well and do it the "right" way.

 

I have included some photos of the actual object and a rough sketch of 3 profiles to get the point across of what I am trying to do.

 

Any help guiding me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Maybe a Boundary Fill using Surfaces for all sides.  Attach you model for help from the Forum. 

 

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.

Surface Loft your 3 sketches.  Your white dots will cause the failure.

Thanks, I will have to figure out how to do a boundary fill. I only know the basics mostly with solids. I don’t have a model yet. I will scan the original object in and make reference photos.

I tried loft but was getting lots of errors. I’ll have a look at your attachment tomorrow. Thanks.
