Hello, I am trying to wrap a cured line 360 around a conical surface but I have no idea how to do it.
I need to recreate this blender.
Here is what I currently have set up.
The piece I currently have modeled is the inside grey part and I want to emboss the curve above and connect to the sketch below with a loft. The rear of the blender does not have the curve.
Thanks

This is kind of going over my head... Is there any chance you could sketch what you mean? Sorry!
Most won't follow links - upload images or files here rather then linking them to a website..
Fixed, thanks
John,.. as James is suggesting, projecting a 2D curve onto the surface (solid or surface).. or trim (or cut) away... is the straight forward way to do this,... and, if you have the part in front of you it would really help getting that curve/profile. Since I can't see how it wraps.. I found a profile of this machine on a site to better understand the wrap.. and again.. it's simply a profile... although I had started with a 3DSketch (I like doing things different) either 2d/3d works ... with 2d you'd have to tweak more to get the front even... and imho, the 3DSketch helps more but it has its own setup challenges.. so.. for your use, the 2D sketch I include would work for cutting solids/surfaces as well.. if that makes it easier?
Thanks for the response, but after downloading your model I still cant seem to figure out how to do this... I'm really new to solidwords! Is there any chance you could make a step by step on how to do it? Sorry for the hassle.
Thanks
John,.. SolidWorks is a history based modeler,.. or parent/child process,.. so each feature is a step-by-step linear recording of how this model is/was created.. all the information is there,. like a family tree.
..just roll back on the tree and roll forward and note each step..
The way I'd tackle this is to draw a curve on the upper plane you have shown and project it down to split the surface of the cone. Looking at this, the "vertical" lines would project to straight lines (radii) on the plane with the upper (left) and lower (center) curves being some circle/parabola/polynomial curve.
If the part is already modeled you could place a plane on top and project/convert-edge the shape up to the plane.
