Car with Boat Tail
-
I am having trouble drawing the boat tail on the car (see picture). It curves in more than one direction. Could I please have some pointers on how I might go about it?

You'll need to experiment with the Curviloft plugin. You'll need to set out a series of curves charting the main shape of the tail. It works best if each curve is a single polyline...so if you are not using the bezier tool to draw a single curve, but are constructing them out of multiple sections, you'll need to use the Recurve script to weld each profile into a single line.
In the attached file, each section has been drawn using a mixture of straight lines and curves, but you'll notice that the entire length 'lights up' when selected.

Thank you. It took a good deal of time to get a result but I got there in the end. I am happy with it.
