I'm probably approaching this wrong but just in case, wondering if there's a way to create a "plate" out of the spline shape you see here. I've tried sweep, lathe and extrude modifiers with no success.

YOu need the splines to be edited in this fashion. Only then will you be able to use sweep or lathe. If you want to do it otherwise, have a look at the "Push" modifier in the stack.
No biggy Adrian, i would leave the spline for something else and draw all my attention at the push modifier because 3dsMax spline system is hard to swallow and is perhaps outdated.
For a plate object have a try with the spherical object below everything and try to "Push-it" so you have a good extrusion to start with (not too much) and experiment.

Monster you nailed it. I forgot about this method, remarkable suggestion.
