Hi Everyone,
I'm going to deal with more difficult tasks.
In this case I'm trying to realize a "complicated" (for me) hollow on a solid object. I'm thinking to create some kind of shape to substract to the main solid but I don't know if it's the correct procedure. I'd like to build the object.
By the way I attach two drafts ( made with Strata 3D and pen ).
What are your kind advices ? :D
Should I use nurbs? I never used them...
Thanks for now, have a nice day!

Yes It's the first Idea I had with the solids. But what if I use the Mesh? The problem is that (correct me if I'm wrong) to work properly with the mesh I should have to buy the powerpack. Currently is there a way to design segments on a mesh? Once I created the mesh I can't delete or change segment, neither select them. I'm used to work with mesh cause I usually worked with 3d program based on that kind of procedure, but I can't understand how to make it works in Viacad Pro. Maybe I need an upgrade? Or is there a tutorial which explain the keymap or how to work freely with mesh? I saw there is a feature selection in the powerpack which seems to enable the work with segments, faces and vertex.

Mesh modeling with viaCAD is very unusual. PowerPack is responsible for the converting, correction, diagnostics etc. of mesh and has only a few functions for modeling. Do not suffer with it. Take the normal polygon modeler. Or surfaces would be good choice for your sketch.
