Re: Recommendations on how to model this part
Have you tried surface loft? I would draw the beginning, middle, end, 3 lines and inner and outer path. I'm not at my PC so I can't try it.

Re: HOLE SURFACE COLOR
Hi Bryan, Just an idea, you need to try it, you can check the hole diameters with solidwork api (macro). I think you can make the hole diameters other than the hole diameters you specify red.

The dimensions do not match the figure in the picture.

When the measurements are applied, the tip gives a different result.

Not a solution but just an idea. The save as command queries the existing same name and opens a window to save it to a different location if it exists.
Maybe.
