Help with designing a curvy and pointy chrome style chamfer/fillet for jewelry design

[rrscnc]

I’m confused on how to plan/strategize the sketch to create/chamfer for the upper side part especially.

thank you!

It looks like a pentagon shaped profile that bulges out, you just need to trim off the area.

If you want to go more into detail you can cut the bulged part out and connect it with a loft to get the connecting curvature perfect and trim it off or just connect it with a complete loft.

wait, did you start with a pentagon or a circle?

I revolved the squashed pentagon.

Created guides for loft

and lofted

[rrscnc]

got the idea. altough i’m still having trouble with the loft. thank you!

Hi,
Otherwise, you can only use the Sweep tool without Loft.
Well it is to rework but it is just for the principle.
Sweep > Scale > Mirror

@SCALEMODEL - I am trying to duplicate what you have done here, but I am not sure how to draw the guide lines in 3D space between the Revolved body and the added pentagon sketch.

Making guides is little bit tricky, I use 3 Points Construction Plane, but first I align with Construction Axis and move it to create 3 snapping points.

I put little bit more effort in it.

Thanks! That’s pretty cool.
