Hey! Does anyone here have any tips on whether it is possible to do something similar to the pocket in the picture in Aspire? The figure above the pocket is only included to clarify the shape of the pocket.
I need a little help drawing a special figure.

Re: I need a little help drawing a special figure.
It's hard to see the shape exactly. I'm sure there are several ways to make the pocket. Here is one based on my understanding of the shape. See the attached file.
I started with two 2-rail sweeps. One creates the body of the pocket, and the other cuts off the end. See the example. I created them as a "positive" image coming up from zero just to make it easier to draw. Then I created a zero plane, baked the two sweeps together after copying them, and changed the combine mode of the resulting shape to Subtract.

Thanks for the help and your time! You were spot on with the pocket with the flat end
