Project onto curved surface

thomas_hirsch137

I want to model a watering can. I'd like the outlet to be wider at the base, and join up directly to the surface of the can. Which tools could I use to achieve that.
I tried to use projected surface, but it didn't work, because I cannot sem to use it like sketches, it cannot be selected for extrusions and loft bases for example.

Please post a link to your Public document so we can see how you modeled it. - Scotty

I don't understand the description. Can you annotate a screenshot or something to draw what you're going for (even badly)?

Perhaps you're trying to hollow out the spout? It's probably easiest to model it as a separate part, shell it, then union it with the rest of the model.

If I am understanding correctly, creating a loft for the spout with the desired cross-sections should do the trick.
I'd likely approach this by modeling the entirety as a solid and use shell to create the internal cavity.

Thanks for the hints, I did solve it by simply changing the order, to create the shell after attaching the spout, so that it also becomes hollow, and then just boring a hole at the top, using the line between the center points of the circles that make up the spout's loft bases, which is not perfectly correct, but good enough.

Here is the model.
