Would someone kindly indulge me: How do I do this inSharkCAD?

I suppose this could be seen as a solid with draft indide and outside shelled or given a through-hole like a bossing might be done...

I was unable to achieve this construction at the 6m 50s point for the URL below.

Tried Guide Cover Surface.

Tried Revolve (on a lark).

Other tools failed, too.

(Tried the Mesh Modeling Tool as a last resort, after joining the lines and arcs of the slot)

But, but, but, interestingly, I got pretty close by:

— creating the base using the slot tool (outer length at 0.54m and width or height at 0.14m; inner dia scaled smaller) for then using the Push-Pull tool to make a surface

— creating an oval at the top (copied from larger oval at bottom

— creating (off to the side) a sketch of lines and adding a surface (and moving to intersect with solid made using below, or just experimentally position and shape as desired for effect)

— using Push-Pull tool and making the solid be 0.018m high/tall

— using CutOut Solid, Along Path

— used the upper slot as the path

The CutOut Solid tool in the V12 User Guide, as on page 514 undersells the value and power of the tool. I only accidentally and through frustration and blitzing through the tools took a chance and got lucky.

But, if there's a way to do in SharkCSD what the askNk did in his video, I'd love to learn.
