I want to know the easiest way to make a shape like this. How would you do it? I am only able to make it in the most roundabout way possible, which takes way too long. Sorry if this is a little silly.

Without a recording of what you did, it will be hard to say what may have taken “too long”.
Thank you so much! This is infinitely faster than whatever I was doing.
from what i see in the screenshot:
_helix (with 0.3 turns ?) or another custom curve
_projectToCplane (copy = no)
_loft
depending on what you do next, you might benefit from a trimmed surface.
so just build the base curve (_arc or _curve) and extrude it.
Trim it from one view with a _line…
also have a look at _shear.
and mark the topic as solved if you found a solution.
kind regards - tom
I would make it by extruding a planar curve and before doing that I would remove all the multiple knots. This results in better control point structure than extruding a sloped curve with lots of extra knots.
