      To Administrator: If this posting is not the appropriate forum, please feel free to move it.

      I have drawn pumps before by hand and with using plugins, but I haven't been satisfied because it either took too long or the geometry didn't come out right or it had too many faces.

      I've attached an SU2015 model of the top and side profiles of the portion of a pump needing to be replicated. The plan view was drawn with 4 arcs (each with 9 segments) and 2 line segments.

      The shape is basically a round(ed) tube.

      I would be interested in recommendations for the best plugin (or plugins) to create the 3D shape. If you want, please feel free to the list the steps used to accomplish the shape.

      Thanks, John
