Modelling an aerofoil blade

Hi,





I am new to SolidWorks and am trying to create an aerofoil blade for a
turbine. The blade is made up of 9 aerofoil sections which I have
created on planes and lofted between each. The lower camber of the
aerofoils are all flat. Lofting works well until tip of the blade. I
just can't seem to get a nice rounded and smoothed off tip for my
blade. I would have thought this would have been a basic thing to do
in solidworks, but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have
suggestions or any tutorial that could help me?





Thanks in advance for any suggestions.





Jenny
