Next:This "Getting Started: Surfacing" tutorial is intended as a guide to surfacing triangle models in CopyCAD. Using the example of a car bonnet and wings, it shows step-by-step how you can create CAD surfaces on a triangle model.
This tutorial shows how you should use the different methods of creating surfaces in CopyCAD. It explains first how you examine the model to decide where you will place the surface patches. You then are shown the steps needed to create four-sided untrimmed surfaces.
It then shows you how you can create trimmed surfaces which can include internal trim boundaries to surface awkwardly shaped areas. In this case, we will create just one surface over an area that using four-sided surfaces would need 21 surfaces to create a smooth finish.
Finally, the tutorial shows a few of the extensive CAD surfacing solutions available in the PS-Surfacer editing module. With these you can easily create accurate surfaces over the regular features of the air inlets in the middle of the bonnet.
