Lofting

price_cobb

He team supreme, been a while that I've used loft and gosh knows I was most likely lofting something dead simple so may be some of my issue.

Anyway, I've shared this with OnShape as well as here is the link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/78744784a918d7fe6bc36cce/w/be7ce1f83de61adbb06151d2/e/870df87dec6337d120b71ab8?renderMode=0&uiState=6814ce13ddcf9a7afd7c8cf9

When you get there you can see which tab this picture is from at the bottom of this picture.

Im trying to build a part that lives in an area I can't get to so there have been no measures, but lots of trial and error and I'm almost there. However I'd like to "gussy it up" a bit, by filling in the area from the blue line to the edge of the grey face that is 90degrees to the blue lines. Make sense? I want this to become a more rounded bulbous end if you will. AND this can be anything and not just what appears to be via my blue line.

For the life of me I can't get any kind of loft to appear much less then for me to have an idea of what to do to fix that. I get nothing.

Any help or thoughts are very much appreciated. HUGE thanks.

I'm no maestro, but here are a few thoughts:

• Your modeling is chaotic, and hard to work through with all of the transforms. I don't see why they're necessary for this piece, I think I could easily model this in place, so that the part history is more easy to work through.
• Loft can be tricky, I've modeled for a year+ (dozens of projects), and I still am careful to depend on it. If I think I'll need it, I often work out parts of my piece prior, so that I know I'll be able to reliably use it when I get to where I need it.
• If you're ok with a generally fancied up end, and don't require anything specific, rotating the end profile of the curved bit might be ok for you.

I did the last process here, though I actually did it after failing to loft, so I wasted a ton of steps. As-is, you could just make a sketch on the end of the curved bit, use "use/project/convert (u)" to grab the profile, and then rotate it by 90 degrees using the lower edge of the piece as the axis.
