Help with specific Extrude or Loft on a part?

Hi All,

Hope I can return the favor one day.... I need some help understand how to do an extrude on a specific part.

I have a specific part I am drawing out, it's a "Cover" for a Tow Hinge of mine which got lost.

This is where I am at the moment:




I am trying to figure out how to "Extrude" or "Loft" the part in yellow so that it becomes part of the "Part".



Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jannie

    Jannie, here is what I did.

    Sketch on front plane, convert sketch of the triangle and extrude up to face in both directions.  Hope this is what you needed to do.

    Modifying your geometry, I like RK approach.

    But starting from scratch:


    Create 2nd profile using a surface:


    Loft between profiles:

    @billyrides, thanks, I also learned the Draft command now.

    I suppose I could do a draft where the two faces are "off center" as I need the one edge to be flat.

    Thanks again!
