<strong>Step 19:</strong> Exit the sketch and start a new sketch by right clicking the top plane and selecting the sketch icon. Draw a circle on the top plane and use the Smart Dimension tool to set the following parameters. Set the diameter of the circle to 10mm. Set the distance from the origin to the center of the circle as 35mm. Add a horizontal relation between the center of the circle and the origin by holding shift, clicking both points, and selecting the appropriate relation. Double-check to make sure everything is fully defined.

<strong>Step 20:</strong> On the Features tab, select the Lofted Boss/Base option. For the Profiles, select the two circles that you drew in the previous two steps. Manipulate the green dots to shape the profile and try to avoid creating an intersecting geometry, which will give you an error. Click the green checkmark when you are finished.

<strong>Step 21:</strong> With the loft selected, go to the Features tab and drop down the arrow underneath the Linear Pattern button. Select Circular Pattern. Click on the 72mm line to choose the pattern axis. Select the Equal spacing option and increase the number of instances to the desired amount. 6 supports is probably fine.
