How do I make a Loft of sorts that will make a "curved ramp"?
I want to fill that area with a loft of sorts, that respects the curvature and "eases" the ramp until it reaches the end. How may I do that? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/95348026f22336243da5298c/w/4954531794b31370f3012f6a/e/9ff6052f079dd476ea8925f3?renderMode=0&uiState=67e749df5017516de822cc39
