So if we take a look at one of the elevations here, you can kind of see the shape that we're after. It's going along this slope here, as it goes from the back to the front. So we want our little ribs to kind of follow that same basic trajectory. There's a couple ways we could do this. We could actually just build more blends and sketch that manually, but because I have the height of this thing already parametric, in order to keep it parametric, I think it's going to be easier to control with a swept blend. Now a swept blend will give us an opportunity to talk about a nested profile. So what we're going to actually do is leave this file open.…
