    Hello Ike,

    Yes i think i can help.. Ok this is my solution: the tricky part here is that the ribs are flat so first you need to split your double curved surface with planes perfectly oriented. For this i suggest yout to divide the curves you used to loft your surface (in my case 3 so i can build planes with 3 points)
    Then just offset the surface split both surfaces with this planes and loft the new lines in both surfaces. Here are your ribs. Just planes but later you can play with thickness etc..

    For different orientations for your planes (visually interesting..) you can use shift command so you can "force" starting and finishing angles of incidence as in AApavilion. Also playing with the number of division in the curves will cause different effects on the orientation of the planes.

    Well, Hope this is useful..

    Any other strategy is very welcome!!

    Cheers!!
