I am trying to replicate a tube clamp I use for aquariums. I have modeled it for the most part, but am stumped how to create that rounded reinforcement ridge.

Is there a way for me to create that rib by using the plane/shape I already created? Is this called something specific that I can look for tutorials?

Hi Mike,  
The tool you’re looking for is **sweep**.
