This time we will see how to use 3D Sketches to make profiles and guide curves to create surfaces. Also how to use them to make auxiliary surfaces to reference them for tangency and curvature. And we will see how to use the excellent tool of the multiple views to work more comfortable in the three dimensional space. Don't miss the next lesson...

Chapter 7 of our mini course. SKETCHING FOR SURFACING PART 1. As the saying goes: The better the sketch, the better the surface. Making good sketches for surface modeling is fundamental, so we will produce high quality surfaces on our models. Don't miss part 2!

This is chapter 13 of the course. We will do the modeling exercise of a Hair Dryer, completely on surfaces, using the last tools learned so far. You can download the SDPRT file from here: https://grabcad.com/library/hair-dryer-surface-excercise-1 The best combination for this tutorial, is to download the file, open it in SW and follow the tutorial steps. Don't miss the next chapters with more important surface modeling topics.

Chapter 11 of the mini course. This time we will do another practice exercise (Nr. 3). A cover for an electronic device with its button panel. In it we will learn how to use Hybrid Modeling, a combination of solid modeling techniques and surface modeling techniques. We recommend downloading the SLDPRT file from here: https://grabcad.com/library/housing-for-electronic-device-1 So you can follow the tutorial with the file opened in SolidWorks.
