irregular surfaces |
|
|
I know how to use lofts, sweeps, cuts, extrusions. But thats as far as I
have learned.
Just wondering if there are any other processes I need to learn?
As for the 'look' of the chair seat. I would like it to be as realistic as
possible. I would like to learn how to model 'irregular' surfaces.
Regards

| Use the "Irregular Surface" feature under the Insert --> Surface menu. |

Tick,
Actually it's much easyer in SW 2006.
RMB on the "regular" surface and select >Make Irregular.
LOL,

I think several resources for learning have been suggested already.
Find Ed Eaton's DiMonte Group curvy stuff tutorials . Check out Mike
Wilson's sample parts and reverse engineer them to see if you can
reproduce.
Here are some additional tutorials:
http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content/DSG322/solidworks_surface_tutorials.htm
The easiest way to do it at this point might be to post what you have
so far at http://www.mcadforums.com and ask someone else to do it for
you. |

Surface fill is a good one to know. From your earlier post I assume
you are trying to create a little dip in the seat for the guys butt?
You can use s plit line to specify a region to get dipped, delete the
face (choose delete, not delete and pathc or delete and fill), create a
sketch for where you want the dip to go, then use a surface fill,
tangent boundary, and select the sketch as a control curve.
If that doesn't get what you want, you can then revert to a surface
loft.
Then knit everything back up into an enclosed volume and convert back
to a solid.
Some folks use dome and deform too, but I prefer to have more control
over what I make.
If, on the off-chance you are trying to model a texture - umm, don't. |

Did you do a search for a car seat? I know for sure about 3 years back
someone modeled a car seat as a tutorial. I just don't know where I
saw it. Anyone else remember what I am talking about?
