Can someone help me create this bath in 3D?

I could do it with a sweep, around a rectangle void of the base of the bath and then create one more solid to close up the bath.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Get the cad file from the company and just import it into a plumbing fixture family. Then turn it off in plan an place symbol lines in your family to represent it.

If that doesn't work, then I would just do a blend solid and a blend void, and probably not worry about getting the bottom edges of the inside to curve. I say do a blend, since the bath tub flares out more on the ends than on the sides as you go higher from the bottom.

If you wanted the curved bottom, do a sweep and pick the bottom edges from where your void blend cut the solid blend.

Something like this? I did it in Imperial units, but I converted the dimensions from that cut sheet, so they should be the correct dimensions if you bring it into a metric project.

Thank you all for your ideas but I learned to use the sweep...so I will use it to give more detail to the model.

Thanks for the model you did...it is exactly the bath but I had dificulty understanding how you did the blend solid.
