Michael,

Great work! Now can you help a noob out by explaining a bit of your workflow? I'm really trying to learn to use the program.

I get it that my curves were attached to different planes. Actually, that thin bottom plate was really not necessary; it was just a way for me to get a surface on the bottom.

So once you cleaned up the bottom and had all the elevation curves attached correctly, then what?

What was your reasoning to add the ellipse part-way up?

What command(s) did you use to convert the skeleton into a solid? It doesn't seem like Extrude or Revolve would work. I have watched the videos about creating the "starfish" and the "octopod" but they don't seem to help me understand how to work with this model.

Now that the model is working, is there a simple way to "stretch" or "compress" the elevation? This wedge is basically 9mm tall, and I'd like to create wedges 7, 8, and 10mm tall also.

By the way, this model imported into Alibre just fine and I was able to work with it as I had hoped. Thank you so much!
