A round bowl with a saddle across the middle

Hi Eng-Tips Folk,

I am trying to design a bowl with a saddle down the middle, using surface modelling.  This is for the purposes of learning SW, but the bowl could be used to eat two different cereals from the same bowl, or it could have two different nuts in each side.

Attached is as far as I have got.  I don't know how to handle the edge where the saddle intersects with the inner curve of the bowl.

I think my problem is that the top of the saddle is a straight line, meeting the bowl edge at a tangent.  And I don't know how to handle this 90deg corner, so that the surface flows down from it.

Does anyone know of a SW example of a saddle in a bowl on the Internet?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Terry.

Chris,

That's great!  Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Modelling a 90 degree section was throwing me off.

Terry.
