How would you go about this?

Hi Pilou, your example has everything on one plane, look at my Gif, totally three dimensional.

Seems you will have your exact curves wanted with CurvyLoft!
Use Chris Fullmer Perpendicular face Tools for input Start and End Section
(and also anywhere along the path)
(any section(s) possible) and you can put of course different (or not) section(s) along the path!

And perfect for try the neW Bezier nurbs by Fredo

The SubDivision method is alway a suspense method!
You control after and not before!

My curve is a Bezier Nurbs curve so can have any path on the 3D Space!

So using my images for reference how would you get the path to follow them exactly?

pilou

Exactly! Free to you to follow internal, external original path !

And of course you can blend curves and segments inside the path!

Use this method inside CurvyLoft
Not sure it is the default one!

If those pictures are not tempered with you could use in eg. second one and go with Matched Photo to get base and overall shape and then use Vertex tools and SubD to get smooth transitions.

Hanging out to see what you have done...Could you re-post with SU V2019? Thanks.

I updated the file to the 2019 version.

pilou

Yes but as my curve are Bezier Nurbs curves so it can have any path on the 3D Space!
Plane, curvated, heliptical etc...

Hey Baz, I'd love seeing your workspace

Thanks. Interesting.

Hi Joe. Just a shed now with basic gear. I got rid of most of the stuff when I moved to the country for my retirement. Nice spot tho.
This is the house, not the shed

Pretty neat little pad Baz, did you laminate those two handrails to get the curve in them?

Yes and the rafters.
