A shape resembling Horsebean
Introcuction:
As shown in Figure, we will try to make a shape resembling horsebean in this tutorial. Here I will introduce two ways to accomplish this practice.

From the pic, we can see that all iso curves in the resulting surface are simple and nice. i think loft command is an ezsy way to achieve such results.
First, we must create profile curves that define the surface shape.
Steps 1:
*Draw curve 1 with “curve” command.
*Curve2: Copy curve 1 and then using PointsOn command (F10) show the control points of that curve. Now move the control points to Adjust the shape of the curve 2.(It should be noted that the curves must be maintained Curvature continuous) In this step, match command and manually adjust these control points are necessary.
*Curve3:The same method to draw curve3 (At both ends of the curve must be perpendicular to the plane where curve 1&2 in)
Step 2:
*Extrude the curve 1 and curve 2 with “ExtrudeCrv” command.
*After you�ve done that, loft the surfaces’ edge & curve 3 that define the surface as shown below .
*done.(Adjust the control points to get the shape we want)

*Use network command.(Creates a surface from a network of curves.)
*Network done.Trim the surface.
*Blend the surface.Zebra.
