Hi all,

Looking for some guidance to create the following, been trying to get my head around it but going in circles.

I am trying to cut out some internals of a part with 2 curves, see attached.

Any help would be appreciated it is one of those where I think I have how to do it in my head but can’t translate to the drawing 🙂

Hard to tell from the pics as they are quite dark. Is this what you are trying to do?
