Lazer Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You should hit Google images to get an idea of what you want the end result to look like then you can post the image here and we can advise the best method. Surface modelling would be the method I would be looking at but again I am not sure where you are going with the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer93 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 im looking to make panels to fit like that, flush on the frame, so they can be screwed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A surface model of the front profile would be the easy method but you could also loft along a rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I would use the surface tools to create the panels and then thicken to solids. If you intend to flat pattern then use the Sheet Metal tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
