In this example here, I've got a few different planes and I have a bunch of different sketches that are defining this shape here. So you can pretty much see that I've kind of created a wire frame so I've got a straight line here in the back that kind of connects that back corner, I got a couple profiles out here on the outside and I got couple just points here at the end to create a shape. So what we're going to do is create a loft, come up here to Lofted Boss/Base, my profiles.
