      Not perfect but at least quick with the Soap Skin Bubble plugin.

          Here's my attempt. I simply used the from contours from the Sandbox tools. Probably not what you envisioned tho...

              Trying to do it myself produces nil.

              Weld to make a continuous curve is inconsistent but works on parts, either quarter, half, or whole without the crossing ribs, but soap timeouts (Timelimit finished!)!

                  Here is my attempt using TIG's Extrude edges by Rails. I have only done half as a demonstration. I think it works better for the corner with the straight edge although the other quadrant could be a bit smoother - perhaps by altering the number of line segments?

                    I did it also with TIGs EEBR and it worked very well. I have not posted it because it left a slight valley down the centre when I mirrored the half and I guess that is not required.

                    Edit: Thought I may as well post the skp!

                      You can download a new version that works until 10. October 2010. 😄

                          Making the profiles [and rails], each with the same number of segments gives best results in EEbyRails - to weld complex sets of arcs/edges into one curve first select all and explode back to plain edges - they stay selected then use 'weld' to join them...

                            Thanks, I'll try to remember these tips.
