Hello,

I have created the top view and side view but I cannot combine them to create a smooth 3d shell.

If you know of a tutorial on how to do this please share a link.

Otherwise how can I get these two 2d shapes to combine into 3d.

Extrude each shape in the proper direction then run the INTERFERE commnand.

One possible outcome.  I had to copy and union one of the 3D objects before running the INTERFERE command.

I finally figured it out.

I had to extrude both shapes then line them up.  Then click intersect.

What I want to know now is how to make it rounded like a plane's fuselage.  Then I can test it with CFD.

Rounded?  You might try the Fillet command with the Chain option.

Using the sideline and top line as a guide for the rounding.

It looks like you need to use surfacing techniques to get to that kind of shape.  Your original geometry looked symmetrical enough so I limited it to one quadrant.  I then used 4 copies with the SCULP command to get the solid.uploads/244286/HowBySurfQuad.dwg

Yes that is what I want.

When I typed in "SCULPT" it came up with "SURFSCULPT" I then clicked on the solid and clicked enter.  It said "solid creation failed, no watertight volume detected".

Have I missed a step?

Will this surfsculpt work if the object is flat on the bottom like a a non symmetrical airfoil?

Yes, the command name is SURFSCULPT, though the Ribbon icon just says "Sculpt".
The command just uses surfaces, and if the surfaces selected enclose a volume then a 3D Solid will be created.  It should not matter id one of the surfaces are flat.
