    Hi All,
    I am trying to create a solid from the following sketches, if
    anyone could give me a push in the right direction it would be very
    much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Not all that easy to do, in my book. I imagine Salvador or Wilson would
    laugh at me, but I have an approximation for you at the following link:

    www.h2omarkdesign.com/swhelpdone.SLDPRT (letter case must be exact)

    It's not perfect, however. Just one approach.

    Ok, I took a crack at it. I took some liberties with your sketches
    because they don't seem to line up cleanly in 3D.

    The shell inside the dome end is a touch funky, so if that were
    important to you, I would recreate that face the same way the outer one
    was created.

    I emailed you a part directly that should work. It uses your geometry
    pretty much exactly.

    Now that I looked at Matt's it's pretty much the same as his with some
    slightly different methods. But the outcome is the same.

    That has some tangency problems around the outside. Have a look at it
    with the Deviation Analysis tool to see what's going on there.

    Here's another crack at it, sans funk:

  11. Michael,
    All you need to do is sketch the small end plate on one plane, then offset
    another plane which will call itself "plane 1", to whatever distance you
    want the two end plates apart, sketch the larger end plate on plane 1, then
    create a loft between the two sketches , and you will have your solid.
    There is no need for the support, (connecting) lines at top and in the
    lower corners, which will be created automatically.
    Good Luck,
    G. De Angelis

    Yeah, I tried that first, but if you look at his "sketch 2", the revolve
    geometry doesn't match it. Also notice that the end of his loft near
    the origin is on an angled plane, and not parallel to the smaller end.
