Help with Surfacing

Hi Guys,

I usually use SW for tool and die design (square blocks with lots of
holes). A customer wants a riser designed for his chopper and I have
tried numerous surfacing techniques to no avail. I have only had the
basic SW training and the sheet-metal training.

If someone would be interested in making a few suggestions as to how I
can model this riser so that the radii are tangent with the top and
bottom surface I would be so grateful....

I have uploaded the files to http://www.ttmdesign.com

Thanks in advance,

can you be more specific about what you are trying to acheive? Maybe a
marked up image or scanned hand sketch or a photo of a similar part?

CC,
I e-mailed you your part after some modifications I made to it. take a look
at it and tell me what you think.
basically I changed your side loft into two side lofts with tangency
relation to the surrounding faces by edge selection + I changed the rounded
corner from 150 deg to 133.68 deg in the revolve feature.

cheers,
