QuickStart4 guides you through Surface Modeling using 3D scan data of a streamlined shoe:
Modeling includes creating section curves, feature curves, offset curves and spline curves and generating a boundary fit set of surfaces. All modeling is based on the imported 3D mesh.
Modeling Process
1. Click Insert > Import open Shoe.stl at following location: ~/INUS/Technology/rapidformXO Redesign/Sample/QuickStartGuide. The mesh data looks as shown below.
2. Click 
(3D Mesh Sketch) to go to the 3D
mesh sketch mode. Click Tools > 3D Sketch Entities > Section or
click 
to create 3 sections.
Change option to N-Division Between Planes and select Right ref.plane.
Position the section planes as shown below.
3. The result of creating sections is as shown below.
4. Click Tools > 3D
Sketch Entities > Trace Feature Line or click 
to create the feature line.
Select the poly-vertex as shown below.
When you select the poly-vertex, feature line is created automatically by XOR. Click OK.
To connect, spline drag end point to the other point.
To make smooth spline, click Ctrl and drag a mouse to editing zone.
Slightly Move the point to make smooth spline.
5. Click Tools > 3D
Sketch Entities > Boundary or click 
and select the following boundary to create the boundary curve as
shown below. Click OK.
6. Click Tools > 3D
Sketch Entities > Offset or 
to create the offset to the above curve. Now delete the original
curve. Click OK.
Delete original offset curve.
7. Check Intersection on the toolbar and click OK to create the intersection points as shown below.
8. Click Tools > 3D
Sketch Entities > Spline or 
to create the spline manually on mesh as shown
below.
Check Intersecion on the toolbar and click OK to create the intersection points as shown below.
Click 
button at the right bottom of the
Model View to exit 3D Mesh Sketch mode.
9. Click Insert > Surface > Boundary Fit to create the surface. Select 3D Sketch1 as Mesh Curves.
Click OK. XOR calculates fitting surface form mesh.
11. The resulting image looks as shown below.
