    These lines are created in a geometrical set.

  2. Click Multi-sections Surface and create a multi-sections surface between the curved edges of the two pads.

  3. Create another multi-sections surface between the bottom edges of the two pads.

  4. Click Sweep and create a swept surface between two opposite vertical edges of the two pads.

  5. Create another swept surface on the other side of the side of the two pads.

  6. Click Join then select the four surfaces to create a single joined surface.
