Hello All! I am currently studying for the CSWA and I am working on several practice questions. I am stuck on this question (I have attached a drawing). So far I have extruded the two circular pieces but when I tried to create a separate plane to sketch the middle piece that joins it, I am having trouble creating the proper geometry. I have considered sweeping the part by creating the outline and guide curves but have struggled with that as well. Maybe my approach isn't the best as I am still learning but all advice and tips is appreciated!!!

Since its uniform profile/thickness I don't think a loft is needed. What profile have you tried to create? My initial thought would be to do the profile in the top left corner eg...

I would draw the profile to the centre of each boss to ensure it merges nicely, extrude it, then put the holes in bosses afterwards
