I want to make a path for a hoop

blake_moseyblake_mosey Member Posts: 4

I am having a problem where i cant make a path for my hoops of the bull bar. I am trying to make a path starting a one cylinder that goes up and then curves to the left and goes straight then curves down and meets the other cylinder. I am having trouble find the right plane to start the sketch on as the line wont go up it will only let me draw on the face of the extruded object or the planes. the cylinders are set back as they would be on a bull bar and I wouldnt like to move them.

is there away around this?

This is the first part
