Does anyone know how to make a mounded surface like this?

[user1381]

Hi All,

I wondered if anyone can help as I’m stumped…

Does anyone know the best way to get from this outline to the surface of the photo I’ve attached. I’m looking to do it in one go if possible?

I’ve tried:

1. contouring, then patch.
2. Plansrf, then Quadremesh
3. Blendsrf

And none seem to get the job done.

I’m looking to basically create a raised/mounded surface.

I’ve attached the 3dm file and jpg.

…can anyone help…?

subd all day.

easy peasy.

make you main forms in subd, then convert to nurbs, then do your booleans and details in Nurbs.
