Like the title says. I thought that I could make a spline by points and make some sort of loft but it don't seem to get good results. Any ideas would be great.

Looks like a revolve with voids carving the top away.

yes I thought of that which seem like the obvious. But I thought that maybe I could host point on a circle and use a spline through points to control the "point of the form".

Thank though

In Revit 2011 you could try using Project Nucleus to get this type of shape.

Attached is my first pretty crude attempt at the shape. It is not all that bad. I probably need to work on the overall dimension and then maybe modify the corner conditions with a void so they are not so sharp.
