Some design help

[Arre352]

Hello, 

I am really new to Inventor and I'm trying to make this lego project and there are a few parts that I'm struggling with how to make. These two lego pieces, 4180409 & 41748. I don't get how to make these curved or angled surfaces right. Help would be appreciated!

Hi! I guess the quickest way is probably create the wireframe and then use Boundary Patch command to create the patch surfaces. Lastly stitch them into a solid body. Another approach is to leverage Loft for the curved faces.

Many thanks!

Attach *.ipt file(s) of your attempt to model the geometry - then I can demonstrate the easy way.

i created this part in this video. The part's bottom side not true because I need more photos. But this video very useful for get drawing ideas.

Thanks for the help guys! I tried the loft and it worked perfectly.

Sketch what you can and the other will fall into place.
