recreate an imported shape

[mann.frazer]

Hi,

I have a .stl im trying to modify. Ive modified it, exported and also used netfabb to try and repair it but that didnt work. I would like to recreate it using parts of the original body as a starting point. Is it possible to trace the edges as a 3d line so i can then create a profile and extrude along these lines?

I was hoping to use something along these lines:

but thats a far simplier geometry.

Thanks for your help.

Do you want a solid or patch Loft?

Loft in Patch works fine.

Loft in Solid needs Profiles - your file has only one Profile - so far.

Might help....
