I am in process of creating a replacement fan cover and ran into an issue with a mounting flange. Initially I sketched it on the bottom profile and extruded upward a few millimeters but ran into a separation-like issue due to the loft from the bottom to the upper fan grill. This caused a gap as the extrude went higher. It was suggested I draw a path and try a sweep but feeling I’m missing something there as it still doesn’t seem to line up. Admittedly I could be missing a setting or something, or maybe need to switch order of operations, but I seem to be spinning my wheels. Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.
Update: Thanks to the tips below I was able to go back and extrude before the loft and clear up the issue. It may be my inexperience with the draft tool but that didn’t seem to work for me in this instance.
