Hello !!

I'm trying to make a mold for my propeller but i have some problems to close the  silhouette curve around the hub. I've done some research correct me of i'm wrong and find that the curve is drawn when the shape change height etc. So how can i draw the curve in the middle of the cylindrical hub?

I'm using Creo 2.0

looks like your on the right path.

Iyappan is correct...but make sure the draft follows a machinable parting line.

with no draft you could fill the gap between your skirt surfaces by building a boundary blend tangent to the 2 sides.
