Thanks. This obviously is a great start for me. However, the result is disappointing and it's obviously because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sure it has to do with the number of subdivisions and increasing them at some point in the procedure.

I should probably give you a little info on what I'm doing. In my Maya class the process to create and extrude this shape was extremely tedious and time consuming. I know I can produce the shape in minutes in AC, or Corel, and a complete 3D importable object in Sketchup. I thought building externally and importing into Maya would be the way to go. Unfortunately the smoothness of the arcs is lost converting the AC line shape into an extrude-able surface. My Sketchup imports have been quite good. But arcs are so much better in AC and Corel.
