Hi all, I need some help again with surfacing.

I have the surfaces I want for a part I want to project a
curve onto the quilt that already
exists. The curve is an arc. Due to the nature of the
quilt when I project the curve it is
not as i want it to look. Can any one suggest how to
blend the original quilt or re-surface
the required section to achive the desired result.

I have attached some screen grabs and the prt model.

@jay - I'm having trouble with the pm system.I'll try again
later.

@kanishk - I want to be be able to resurface the to have a
smooth curve in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
At the minute the curve is how I want in the horizontal
plane but the projection becomes "bumpy" in the vertical
plane because the original surface geometry.

Is it possible to use the original surface to begin with
then create a curve and trim it back to then form a new
smoother surface?
 
This can be done with intersect. sketch your top view curve on the top plane/surface. Sketch your second curve on a plane perpendicular to the top plane. highlight the first curve>go to edit intersect>pick the second curve. This will create a curve that changes your first curve to follow the second curve. See attached model for clarity. Hope this helps you out.
