Hello All,
I have to make a curved surface.
I have a given shape (planar):
I know also shape of guide curves:
I want to bent my given shape to get a curved surface.
Projection of my shape onto extruded guide curves give a bad solution:
I was trying to us freeform function but in this operation boundary curves are "constatn":
Any sugestions?
Please for help,
Many thanks
Hi Greg,
the only caveate to Mike's suggestion is that Wrap only works on a single surface at a time. So in the side profile you have shown - it looks like an arc with two flats on either side. So go ahead and create that profile with an arc and two line but then do a Fit-Spline on them to convert it to a single profile before extruding.

Good Point Mark
You may also beable to use Project Curve Sketch onto Sketch to get the 3d Curve. A 3D Sketch has an Intersect option on the flyout for Convert Entities. So if you use my 2 extrusion creation method you can get the intersecting spline in the 3D Sketch.

use sheet metal
Thank you gentelmen, you helped me .
Greg,
You should be able to Extrude the Curved shape then Trim it to the Top (View 1) Spline or wrap the spline onto surface and trim the Extruded shape.Or you can just extrude the spline as a Surface and use Trim Surface command to trim the Front View extruded surface
