creating surface with non-flat closed curve
ok, i'm modelling the akira bike and am having some trouble modelling the body. i made an outline of the body and closed the curve. i could make it into a planar surface but i notice that planars are only for flat curves. when i move cvs for the curve on another axis the surface disappears and i get an error. i can't use loft or boundary since it's a single curve. so how can i create a non-flat surface using single closed curve??? hopefully the below picture will better explain what i'm doing. thanks

that img and 3 more can be found here, https://psychoform.com under 3d hard surfaces.after seeing those imgs i modified my model somewhat
thanks for the comments. it's really frustrating for someone just starting to learn this app because i know exactly what i need to do but i do not know the tools well enough to utilize them or even find them in the ui. and right now, i don't really know what surfacing tools should be used for what purpose because i don't have enough experience with them to know the advantages and disadvantages. i'll definitely give it a shot with birail. thanks again
