Need help with this shape

Hi guys,

I am looking for a solution to finish the roof of this vehicle and I can’t find any solution so far. I am very new to this app, but I tried to use the Loft tool along the edges to make this curved roof body, but it didn’t work. What could be the solution? Here you can see that I want to create something similar like on this SketchUP model.
Thanks in advance!

I wasn’t able to attach both of the pictures here, so there you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MwvPo3WzgyLjyuveIGpdxqZ6YPZtZ6cZ/view?usp=sharing, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wlv33hWZ-VUXKMWK7yPmny7JBmEjSLDm/view?usp=sharing

Loft works.

From your pic, your 90° sketch is slightly away (a gap) from the body edge. No gap in mine.

Sweep won’t work?

Just now tried it. Sweep does not work (at least with my geometry).

Sweep only works near the outer edge. The turn at the corner would cause an intersecting body during Sweep.

For some reason it doesn’t work, let me show you what I tried to do: Unique Download Link | WeTransfer
Sorry, the file was to big to upload here.

I wonder if you section the cross section into 3 or 4 sections and then sweep one after the other? :rofl:

I’ll try it later. Diminishing returns I think.

Select faces and guide lines before you start lofting. Alternatively you can add guide lines from history by editing loft action.

There could be other issues. If you could share the project, we’d be able to take a closer look.

Thank you, there you go my project file :slight_smile:

Well, it is not possible with existing sketches but they can be redrawn to get this result:

Wow, that is great! Can you share with me how did you do that? So next time I can do it on my own :slight_smile:
