Hi

I am new to SolidWorks and wondered if someone could advise on the creation of the following loft (see the word file)

I need to transition from a flat sketch to a 3D surface with a draft of 15 degrees but I cannot find the correct command.

Thank you.

You would probably be better off making that out os a series of surfaces because I don't see how you can do that as a single loft.

Hi
Thank you for the replies so far, in the meantime I have tried to 'knife and fork' it through using a cut sweep and then a larger rad to clean up the end result (although I would really need a chamfer in that area rather than a rad but the chamfer fails after the swept cut...) Towards the pointy end there is still a small mismatch coming from the draft command.

Here is the CAD attempt so far (SW v.2018...) , I'm open to any improvement suggestions :)

Thank you
