create funnel with uneven distance to the edge

Voyager

Hey, I would to create a funnel like thing, where the rectangle in the middle is the hole.

Since the distance isnt equal, sweep isnt working as I would like it to.

Can someone please suggest me a efficent way?

Thanks!

So the depth of the Thicken (3mm) is causing an intersecting region error.  One way to solve this is to change the shape of the smaller Loft profile (I changed it to a slot vs a rectangle with corner filets).  While this allows a 3mm thick Loft it does leave a bit of odd geometry on the inside of the part.

The operation you need is Loft.  Here is a link to follow along on how I did it.

Thanks a lot

I do always get the error "failed to thicken all surfaces"
Can you help me there?

The document was shared via a link and is view only. I cannot edit the model to troubleshoot.  Just on the surface your feature tree seems overly complicated which make it difficult to follow your design...just FYI.

I think maybe your 'Sketch10" is using the wrong edge of the cap body as reference... Switch that to use the inner edge of the cap, not the outer edge.

If you re-post a link that I can work with, I'd be happy to take a look.

Thanks a lot for your work and time.
It works like a charm
