How to approach sketching this? [HELP]

Anonymous

Having a hard time figuring out how to sketch this design.  It's basically a channel which starts as a chevron on the top surface and flows down three angled surfaces.  The issue I'm having is matching the channels when I go to draw the channel continuation on the angled surfaces from the top... they do not exactly line up where the meet... 

 

Any tips on how to achieve this?  Thanks so much!

Hi Nick,

 

It is a bit hard to understand the problem by looking at a raster image. Did you try projecting the 2D sketch to 3D sketch? If possible, please share your file here or send it to me directly (johnson.shiue@autodesk.com).

Many thanks!

Looks pretty easy.. But I'm also having a bit of difficulty seeing any details in that image as its kind of small and lacking any decent resolution..

Can you get a better image?

 

Also please attach the ipt file of what you have so far.. That might help give more context/details/orientation information..
