Trying to create a curved funnel

Hi there,
I am having some trouble to create a curved funnel. In order to connect two cylinders.
I can't get the design process straight in my head. I tried to use the revolve function and revolve a curved shape around the z-axis. but i am not able to draw the correct shape on the existing lower cylinder.
I also tried the loft function (with two circles on an offset plane obove the lower cylinder), but it gave me never a valid result back.
Any hint on how to fulfill this task in general, and what would be the right approach in this case is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Roman

Hey Roman. Please post a link to your document that includes the sketch you were not able to draw correctly. A revolve should work. I assume the cylinder is a loft. Another method would be to sketch a profile of the cylinder and the funnel and revolve them together. - Scotty
Here's one way to do it. thin Loft with end conditions. Alternative to the usual revolve suggestions.
Thanks Scotty! I tried sketching the profie, and that worked fine…
I also tried the Loft function. I was missing the end conditions. Thanks a lot for the hint!
