Patch for 3D sketch?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi everyone! New Fusion 360 user here. Have a question - I am trying to create something like the photo below (but much simpler - without all the ridges, just want to get that twisted tapered profile). I created a 3D sketch with splines using a sphere as a guide, which formed the shape I want but I can't figure out how to fill in the surfaces. Is it only possible to create a patch with 2D sketches? Any better way to build this if not using a 3D sketch? Thanks! 

 

Goal:

One 3d sketch, two 3d splines, Patch works.

Thanks! I previously had my splines intersecting at one point, and patch didn't work. Just drew a new sketch where they didn't intersect and it worked. Guess that's just a constraint of patch - needs to be continuous? Thanks again.

Thats correct, needs a closed loop.
