if you look at part number 3 you can see from the right plane where once this is made i would need to fix flexiply into that slot so want it to be one consistent width compared to what i did here where i just copied the side profile and transormed it smaller.
Thank you

Hello Ellis. From your document I presume the seat is the flexply. I would create the seat with a nice, smooth spline. One method to make the seat would be to offset the spline above and below the original spline and connect the end points together with lines to create an enclosed shape and extrude that. Even easier would be to Extrude Thin a single spline. Rather than recreating the sketch on the chair side to make the slot for the seat, a Boolean Remove using the seat as the tool would create the slot for the seat to fit in.
That's a lot of Transforms. Must've taken a lot of work to get parts into positions. An assembly would be a better place to do that using mate connectors and mates.
Within the assembly you can create a part studio which enables using existing parts within the assembly as elements in the sketch for a new part.
