Help to model complex pocket

[DLG]

Hello everyone ,

I have been using FreeCad since little less than two months, and I'm coming to you with a quick question, I want to create a pocket inside a solide, but I don't know how to.

The pocket itself is rather complex, I could describe it at an elliptical cone, which would have its end flattened.

It starts with a circle with a diameter of 8 mm and ends up with a large slot, with a height of 5 mm and a width of 35 mm,

but the pocket itself is tilted.

As you can see on the attached figures, I have designed the two shapes on the two faces of the solid so that you can better see what I want to achieve.

Basically, I'd like FreeCad to create the pocket using those two shapes as starting and end shapes, but I don't know how to do this, or even if that's possible.

Any ideas on how to achieve this ?

Thank you very much !

Hi DLG, welcome to the forum.
If you have modeled your cube in PartDesign workbench you create a subtractive loft.
If you have modeled in Part workbench you create a loft and make a boolean cut.

In both cases it works best if you change the circle to consist of several segments matching the segments of the slot.

Hi
I made it in Part Wb

Hi, this model can also be made in the Part design workbench using the subtractive loft function
