To get started, all we need is a couple different sketches on some planes, and we have to have an open contour. So here's a part that we're going to be creating. And I'm going to be starting this part from something that looks like this. So I've got a sketch on the top and I got a sketch on the bottom. And we're going to loft between these two sketches.
