I am trying to design a sheath for a pair of scissors to stop them poking a hole in my pocket. My design is an elliptical hollow cone but I'm having a lot of difficulty making it.
So I am starting with a solid ellitical cone and will 'subtract' a similar one once I have sorted out how to do it.
Half of the solid cone seems to be OK but the other half doesn't. What am I doing half wrong?
Thanks for any help - it's much appreciated.

Re: Using Loft
A loft transforms one shape to another. It would appear the model represents a sweep of some sort.
A sweep takes as input a profile and a path. A triangle is not a suitable path.
I suggest you refer to the wiki.

Hi,
Would the following design be useful to you?
ellipse dimensions:
major: 6mm
minor: 3mm
distance from origin: 120 mm
thickness: 2mm
if you want, you can change all the dimensions according to your wishes
