Incline on a radius

Anonymous

Hi, all. I'm pretty new to F360 and I'm stumped. I'm trying to recreate a piece of a dial switch from a trickle charger which is a disc with inclines and declines on concentric rings. I've measured and extruded out all the flat sections, but now I need to figure out how to fashion the inclines.

 

I've attached three images: A top-down view of the effected sections of the disc (hiding the rest), one from a side angle highlighting the 8 sections that need to have a slope, and another from that same angle highlighting the intersection of the adjacent bodies that will be the "home" of the new slopes.

 

I was hoping it would be as simple as grabbing the edge of the lower section and dragging it up to meet the edge of the higher section, but it seems I am not so lucky.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. Tips, tricks, pointing me to the right place - I'll take it all. Thanks in advance!

Please attach the model up to the point you have it now.  If you do not know how, open the file, select File ->Export and place it on your local drive.  Then use the Attachment section of the forum post to attach it.  Also can you include a picture of the actual part.

Also an image of what you are trying to reproduce would help as well.

Here's the file and the reference image. The flip side will probably be a lot easier.

I was able to hide the Component Body, 

 

Made one side straight but twisted face, and for the next opening, the selections for loft, are the faces of the opening, and the edge of the inner body as a CentreLine Rail. Hide the bodies that need transition and use adjacent bodies for the other ramps.

Might help....

Seems the loft function was just what I needed, thank you!

 

Took a little tinkering with selections, especially for the part that needed two uneven sections to loft to one higher section, but I got it to a place that looks right and on this scale, a little minuscule messiness shouldn't affect the usability of the part.

 

Thanks again, @davebYYPCU
