You could poly model that pretty easily.

Just start with a cube or a cylinder and extrude/cut where necessary.

If your totally stuck I will give it a go tonight for you :smile:

Hello DaForce,
thanks for the reply :smile:

It does make a sence, but I am worryed is it going to be possible doing very precisely, I have to follow some cad drawing, and specially if has to be changed. I was thinking and trying using some splines, lofts, surfaceing, but did not get what I want…

Yeah if it has to match a cad drawing closly it could be a little tricky. But not too hard I wouldnt imagine.

Althought having not seen teh cad drawing its hard to say.
