I'm modeling a submarine profile and am working on the fairwater, rudder, and planes. I've got the shape of the air foil (ok - hydrofoil) using a two-rail sweep. The problem is that the two-rail sweep produces a part with an abrupt (flat) end. The top of a submarine fairwater is rounded over to be hydrodynamic. Same with the ends of the rudder and planes.
How can I make the two-rail sweep for the hydrofoil shape AND have it rounded over (essentially a 1/4-round for the part that is projecting outward from the surface)?

Out of curiosity, what did you do?
