Can anyone help with Solidworks. I cant think how to go about fixing this, without making it to complex.

I have been trying to draw the windscreen of an Ultima; I scaled a few photos into the various views (ie plan, profile and front) and then sketched in the windscreen shape using a couple of splines.

The problem is that when I create the Loft feature, it produces a couple of small bludges at the front edge of the windscreen. these can be seen in the second screen shot

Can suggest a way that I can avoid this that would be great?

Not familier with Solidworks but having worked with splines I'd suggest that you need to refine the curves and add more control points as it appears your curves are bending towards a single centre point. If you add more cps then the curve will be better controlled.

Draw the bottom and rear profile of the screen and “Surface Fill” between the two. Then Boss/Base Thicken to turn it into a Solid. wink
