Having difficulty recreating this design, I’ve tried lofts and splines but can’t get it. Any advice is appreciated! ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/0/0461db533352c17c97881e38f016fca7920e9add.jpeg)

I did a quick extrude and subtract on the top section … not sure if this is what you’re going after … I don’t particularly like it but it might be a starting point? ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/1/150d6df701caea5d66ba3b0a0720b9b3ac35291b.jpeg)
