I have a technique that will do this exact surface. Want to see it?
It can only be that a sotware (MOI) that costs 1/5 of Rhino make forms of this kind. is inconceivable!
Moi is becoming more and more powerful in creating surfaces, Rhino is a step below. All this should reflect. It is not enough to have a thousand commands available, but a few, but good ones (this rule applies to so many aspects).

yes please, i’m curious to see that.
Edit :
we never said it’s impossible to do in rhino, but can you make that in 5 Clicks ? 3 rails and 2 profils ?
Rhino’s sweep command has been stuck to the first versions, the same (except for a few small additions).
MOI command is smarter, works for curves open or closed indistinctly. The Rhino command is too rigid, little flexible, and many forms do not succeed in gender (only through other more laborious ways).
Yes. Also it bears mentioning again that these surfaces would never be used in design or manufacturing. Its a theoretical exercise.
Even so, you need a better process … not a new command.
I would extrude bottom shape and vertical one, trim join and stuff would be done - in this simple case i think writing about this took longer then modeling this 
But …
Something like this could be integrated 
Multi-blend is amazing. I love it and want it.

You right, this shape is just for example, even if you made this easily , with this kind of construction you haven’t any history enabled, for editability it’s sucks.
If i need better process, you surely need better understanding of what multisweep can do.
Can you imagine this tool was develloped by others companies just for fun ? there is a good reason.
Ok, i have a better example for you, something i need to do very often.
Watch videos, and tell me if you can do and edit the same so easily,

Love to have it! Multiblends!
Recently learned to blend crv to a point so can imitate fairly well.
I wonder if that can be done in grasshopper or something… which I can’t do yet…
- Extract isocurves from each surfaces coming in at the top most part.
- Make a Point which is equal or higher than the edges of the extracted isocurve and at equidistant from the edges(or similar)
3)blendcrv from on of the surface isocurves to the point.
4)From the other edge curve blend to the crv created in "3)"
5)Repeat for other 2(if surface as in video)
6)sweep2 to patch it up. or networksrf
I guess the difficulty is getting the iniitial Point… needs to be a place when surfaces are created doesn’t disturb the continuity of the surfaces…
But if at least the reference lines can be made, sweep2 and others can be manual operation.
Doing Extract Isocurve, then blendcrv then splitedge then sweep is a bit of a pain if you got to work with many of these…
WISH: Split edge option with extract isocurve command.
would speed up the process a bit.
So after place for Iso curve is determined,
you have to select edge 1 or 2 or both, for split edge.
Then right after back to extractisocrv
If split edge option set to No, the just the same as
now.
@schultzeworks , i just realized 2 mores videos, one with the Moi Process, other with the rhino process. please take a look.
See how is easy, powerful, flexible in Moi , and how is in Rhino ( with the best process possible ) … there is no comparison.
I think i need a new command not a better process.

Agree. It makes no sense to go after Arnold, Octane or Maxwell. Rather, much dearly missing core surface modelling functionality should deserve the obviously scarce resource allocation.

Cyver, what you say is correct.
Also, if you look good, in Rhino, when you move the control points (with history activated), there is a tiny delay; the same thing does not happen in Me: the change is instantaneous. Can you also say what I say?

In MOI I do not know how Booleans work, for example, it would be interesting to make a comparison with limit cases …
In any case MOI fillets work better, so do sweep; next test. Great ideas for reflection for developers.
I see there lots of nice buttons and macros 
Would u mind sharing rui ? 
@davide76, yes there is delay because rhino must update several history in order, curvefrom2views, then symmetry, then each sweep 2 , that’s like a hierachic history, but that’s the way to keep ability to edit the shape.
I dont have this problem in Moi simply because it’s a direct history from Sweep command, just one step.
Yes, i made lot of scripts, macros, icons to boost my workflow, i plan to share a toolbar with all of this in a near future ( rhino 6 )
Some scripts need more work.

MOI have excellent booleans, i often jump to moi to solve boolean doesn’t work in Rhino.
MOI work with 3DM , it’s easy to switch , just copy in rhino and paste in MOI.
It’s really a super little tool i use every days , i can only recommand to buy it, price is really affordable , and really worth the money.
Moi also have a multiblend
