3d wire shapes

[dt99bta]

Hi
I am new to this forum stuff, but wondered if anyone could help me.
I have a fairly good understanding of AutoCad 2000. I am trying to make a 3d drawing of a computer mouse, and I am not sure the best way to get the convex shape of its top.
Could anyone tell me of a good tutorial which will help me to understand the main principles using wire mesh, and how to modify it.
Thanks
Ben

It's very difficult to edit a mesh once it's created.

I suggest you use a series of EDGESURF surfaces. These are four edges, curves/polylines/splines/3dpolylines which must touch end to end.

I will endeavour to create a tutorial for you. Is it for Adv H Graphics ??

I have uploaded an old 'Tunnel' tutorial with EDGESURF used. Tweak the base shape for this and you will be able to draw a mouse. I have put it on my site in - Tutorials>3D>3D projects>Tunnel. www.autocadzone.com
