How to patch a curved hole

I have created a surface with Loft (with Loose) and Polar Arrayed them.

I got this triangular hole, and could not fill them with Patch.

Any suggestion to fill the hole?

Hello - I would trim a circle or other simple shape that just touches the points in the gap , then surface that with a patch. A rectangle oriented to remove the points might also work, and would give more surfacing options. You can just try patching that gap as is too.(Patch command)

hi,
you could also try to lay out the surfaces in a way that they meet at the center. Achieving good continuity is a bit tricky, but may be not so important for some applications.

another way would be to construct a large sphere and trim the shape form there:
