I am currently trying to make a 90 degree multri section surface with both sections sharing a corner.

Looking at the picture linked in this thread. I want to create a surface tangent to the existing one from the red sketch and finish by being perpendicular to the green sketch.

I tried adding guides but both tip of the sketch keep causing problem.

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue or any workaround that could solve my case?

You could try using a 'Fill' or 'Blend' instead of multi-section

It'd help if you had a support surface for the green curve. Can you sweep a line around the green curve? Or extrude it downwards if it's planar.
 
Hi Irish Mariner, i should have mentionned I tried using both of those but but blend feature wont work since the 2 sketch are connected. The fill feature might work but I don't know how to make it so the surface starts tangent to the ones I mentioned earlier.

Hence I tried using multisurface and got a somewhat halfgood result but the corners just won't work.

thank you for the feedback
 
Hi Karl,
You will have to try making a Multi section surface by swapping the direction of the closing points.Hope it will help.

Try to use Fill. but first i would make a extrude downwards, to make a support for the green line.
 
Thank you everyone, I'm at work but I will make sure to try this tonight when I get back home. I'll keep you posted.
 
Thank you everyone, I finally got it to work with a blend. The problem was that the red line was not laying completely on the surface. I had to cut a little bit out using an isoparametric line making sure it did follow the surface. Then used an extrusion like you advised and everything blended!

Thanks again, will make sure to come here more often if I run into other headaches.
