Hello Moi Community,
I'm a newbie to Moi, so please bare with me.
I'm trying to create a car panel for the 1966 lincoln. It's been fabricated as 1 piece, and it has this offset beveling around the top and front edge that falls off
You can see the ref and where im at below.






I'm currently using two loft nurbs to create the main panel, but im sure there is an easier/better way of doing something to form this shape. How can a weird shape like this be be crafted as 1 piece Moi 3d?

I was following some tutorials on youtube by Kuechmeister Swagger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l7Uxwxzfik) But his examples are far more rounded and less hard surface.

Any ideas and assistance would be much appreciated.

See attached example. It may be better to run a couple of different sweeps since the body lines are fairly well defined and would be difficult to add later

Thanks Grendel,
It's a tricky shape to make. Your idea with using sweeps also works.
I'm trying a mixture of this with also booling the wheel part - rather than trying to complete it with it there from the start.

About the surfaces...another method! :)

Curves / Extrude
Offset
Extrude

and now you can modify the "yellow" surfaces alone or both to the form wanted
