Creating 'planar' surface on 3d plane

Hi GuyLuke, usually it is best to create a surface like this using 2D profile curves from the side and top views instead. You want to extrude one of the 2D profiles to make a base extended sheet and then trim that using the other profile curve.

So then the 3D curve is generated at the end of that rather than starting with the 3D curve initially.
