Help with Surfacing

Hi Guys,



I usually use SW for tool and die design (square blocks with lots of holes). A customer wants a riser designed for his chopper and I have tried numerous surfacing techniques to no avail. I have only had the basic SW training and the sheet-metal training.



If someone would be interested in making a few suggestions as to how I can model this riser so that the radii are tangent with the top and bottom surface I would be so grateful....



I have uploaded the files to

CC, I e-mailed you your part after some modifications I made to it. take a look at it and tell me what you think. basically I changed your side loft into two side lofts with tangency relation to the surrounding faces by edge selection + I changed the rounded corner from 150 deg to 133.68 deg in the revolve feature.

cheers, Gil Alsberg
