I have this part that I want to create a cover or screen. The issue/challenge is that this part has 3 sides I want to cover and it is all curved.

I was about to project a sketch where I want to create the screen/cover. Unfortunately, I'm a bit lost on how to create it. Havent had luck with Wrap feature or copying the 3D sketch and extrude boss it. Any advice or suggestion? Or is it just not possible.

Maybe I can create a solid part and do a Cavity feature. As I try this, I hope you guys can suggest other ways.

Thanks in advance!

- The "screen/cover" can just be one solid part. No other features needed

Are you wanting to create a perforated surface? Something like this?

No need for the perforated surface. Just need a part to wrap and cover the pockets.

Not quite but the features you used we're some that I havent used for other ways for sure. See the assembly in the link for an example. The example I created a cover. The thing on this one is that it only had one curved surface. This one has 3...

So the new pieces sit on the outside of the base part?

Yes. It is a .7mm thick cover that will sit on top and outside of the base part.

I tried doing the Cavity feature I mention but that's not the solution. Results in error.

I'll keep exploring

Wow that's it! Is it possible to cover the other two sides as one piece??

If anything fails, how would you fill the holes to make the whole part a solid piece? I attached the new part
