hi!

i’ve been trying to recreate someone else’s cad model for a while now, but i’ve been stuck on how to make the back edge profile. each end has a different sized chamfer (and its not quite 45° either.. so.. a custom triangle sketch on either end?) with a sweeping curve along its back + top. super tricky..

first image is the reference cad model, second one is my current model state.

 ![reference cad model](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/e/7/e7db1ab36b9fdd29f6e01e0a111009ddf2672a1a.jpeg)

thank you for your help!!

Could it be in your order of operations?

Sorry, not fully awake yet… ☕, ☕, I swept the shape along the lower curve. Is that it? ☕☕☕☕

It looks wobbly because I used an unconventional method to reproduce the lines from your drawing. DIdn’t work well but I figured you would get the point. 😆

so i played around with it today and i ended up getting it to work 🙂 there was definitely a bug in the past with the loft when you selected a curved line to follow along, but i guess they silently fixed it and i hadn’t attempted again until now.

thanks for getting some practice in anyway!
