Good day
I am trying to make a shape...honestly I do not know if it is possible.

Attached a pic of what I am after the 2 shapes need to join other following the red lines...
I tried by making a rectangle solid, flow to bend ...but when I try twisting it does twist the whole shape sideways as well.
Any way to accomplish this?
Tnx!

Hi Matadem, the Blend command can be good for that.

First select the end faces:


And delete them, should look like this:


Then select a pair of edges:


And run the Construct > Blend command to make a blend surface between them:


Repeat for the other 3 pairs (one pair at a time so use the Blend command 4 separate times) and use Edit > Join to glue the surfaces together, see attached .3dm file.
