Folks,
This is shared with OnShape support as well as here is the link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9b7f1e3c4d4771aad1936caa/w/045a8fc2153e7f77804fb1d7/e/148c7bfb2415fe1ed7334206?renderMode=0&uiState=684a13214810d10f8231970a
If you go to the V08 Wire Cvr Copy 1 you can see that I've simply cut and move the pieces 90 degree to each other as I need this to have a curve as well. These are simple wire covers I use in odd places.
For the life of me I don't get how to Loft the faces or something that will quickly create the curved part if this is possible.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. TY

If you remove these trenches it will work with a revolve command

Try working with a sweep.

Huge thanks to all and it is the flat 90 that Afalzate13 has done is as I was looking for. but that is not the 90 I was hoping for. Going over Afalzate's work, not sure I understand the steps. Yes I can see what you did but why the delete faces? (not sure I even know what that is :-) ) And then not sure how you created the revolve. I will look and do my best to learn but no matter what TY all for showing it can be done.
If you don't mind cheating by the tiniest of margins you can make that part in a lot less steps.
Delete faces is like an intelligent magic eraser. I saw those little trenches were probably giving the algorithm trouble for sweeping or lofting etc. So if you just select the faces of those trenches and patch them up it will “heal”. When you sweep for example you can’t self intersects during the creation and it was probably doing that during the sweep in that area. Honestly if I were to do this from scratch I would use @MDesign idea with some variables for the face sweep profile sketch with another top sketch to guide the path with length and radius variables along with an offset amount for the end interlocking feature after the initial sweep.
