Can I sculpt a solid from front/end/plan images?

Hi. I want to make a 'holder' for a remote control. Basically a close fitting holster type affair that the remote would sit halfway in, with just enough grip to not fall out.

It's an organic curved shape.

I figured if I had a views, I could fit curves to planes, then sort of press a button and... voila!

I realised after importing the images this was not going to be that easy.

Is my approach sound or are there simpler ways to do this sort of thing? (i'm quite new to this, but loving it)

 

Help, massively appreciated, even just a hint to get me going. Thank you.

No free lunches in Fusion, 

 

Your top view is not correlating with the side view for depth.

Probably do that by modelling the remote itself, and then adding your design around it, cutting the remote out of it.

looks like 3 lofts to me.

Apologies, it was the bottom, I had omitted the top. Update attached.

I really don't have a clue here. I don't even know the terminology to get any reasonable hits. Anyone?

Thanks.

Loft - transition from one shape to another, sketch profiles or faces as input.

is finicky to set up, and would be how I would attempt it.

 

Would be harder to make the holder without a modelled Remote body to supply the geometry.

 

You did not say which canvas is the more correct one.  Side view looks about right.

Not checked the new file yet.

 

Might help.....
