I could keep making the gap smaller and smaller but I couldnt get it to completely close. 
I finally gave up on it, but I would have really loved to finish that so I could run the model through a simulated wind tunnel. |
Thanks. I banged my head a lot trying to make SketchUp extrude a 3D profile. Compound curvature is a real PITA. I ended up working with wire frames and carefully setting the number of arc segments. That basically gave me a well enough defined mesh to manually connect triangular patches. For me a bonus was prep for construction. The cross ribs were already defined so I could make bulkheads. (After losing my shop fabrication was suspended.)
