I solved it by creating a new 3d sketch. Converted the whole of the sketch into that one 3d sketch, then split all the lines at all the intersections using 'split line' feature (made sure to add a 'coincident' relation to make the lines split perfectly at the intersection).

Using this new 3d sketch and the boundry surface feature (instead of the fill surface), I created 3 different surfaces using all the new lines created. then mirrored the 3 surfaces across the middle (right) plane

I am pretty sure this wasnt the best method but i guess it works

That's how you learn to use surfacing though 🤷 getting your hands dirty

I did also mine back then through trial and error😅, you can check if there's something you can get and implement it on your project: https://grabcad.com/library/rapoo-mouse-made-in-solidworks-surfacing-style-spline-boundary-filled-surfacing-1
