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.https://cad.onshape.com/documents/70301bdee67da94c01f314aa/w/faadf4a93585be3342174450/e/525c24cβ¦

@MichaelPascoe thx have work something with a sphere design but just need to figure out the middel part on looks weird :)

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)
