Hey @steen_pedersen968, there are several ways to get shapes similar to this.
Here is one way to do it by sketching the profiles then lofting them together and creating a circular pattern:

Here, I simplified the steps a bit. There were a few redundant things.
Note that Sketch - Profile B, uses an implicit mate connector to control the angle of the sketch plane.

@MichaelPascoe thx have work something with a sphere design but just need to figure out the middel part on looks weird :)
just have to figure the big part in top out so that can be in the middle aswell :)
The point with this kind of shapes is to get the brain to accept that they aren't what they look like at first glance. This, for expamlpe is not a sphere at all. It might not even have the tiniest spherical surface in it. Once that is established, things get a lot easier. ;0)
