Making a dome-like shape with a circle and guide arc

max_crawford

That title might be a little confusing. Here's how the sketches look.




I have a circle on one plane. The curve below it is not a regular, centered curve (It was drawn as a conic arc). What I want to do is create a sort of dome in the shape I have mapped here.

I'm not completely familiar with all of Onshape's tools, so maybe I'm missing something simple here but I can't seem to figure out how to make this work. Maybe it's best to change the approach entirely.

Let me know what you suggest.


Here's the document in case you want to take a closer look:

A fill with a guide curve may give what your looking for. can be thickened tp finish.

You want to use the fill tool to create that surface. Select the outer circle as the edge to fill, and the conic arc as a guide curve.
