Re: How to model this recess Feature?
See attached. There are 2 folders showing 2 different methods of doing it. Just hide one and show the other. There's other ways to do it but I guess that depends on what you are looking for exactly. I prefer method 2 because you don't rely on sketches (let the surfaces do the work) and you can control things such as tangencies, etc.

Shawn,
cheers for the reply but its not quite what I require. I need the ends to basically fade out to nothing.

Re: How to model this recess Feature?
Please see the attached image and file.
- I added a plane going thru the tips and root of the "U" at the elevated section of the sketch.
- I then used convert entities to create an elevated path.
- Composite curve to create a guide curve (a sketch with converted entities which have then used fit spline is probably better)
- Surface sweep
- Trimmed the extra surface protruding thru the bottom.
I hope this helps.

Re: How to model this recess Feature?
Cheers Rob, this gives me what I require. Was messing around with our approach and modeled anoher recess slightly different but with you construction sketches. Either option should work.
