Hey there,
I am pretty new to Solidworks. Dutch student with 6 months experience. To get some practice I decided to start surfacing a car, which i heard is pretty hard. I have been running into some errors however. I was hoping that some experienced user might be able to help me out.
I am surfacing this car by drawing 2d lines and combining them in 3d project curves. Between these curves I create a boundary surface. This will be done for every panel of the car. So for some panel I only have to make only 2 curves for instance because I have the edges of the adjecent panels to define it.
I make sure the endpoints of all the curves connect precisely. Yet for some reason gaps keep showing up between the panels of the car.
When I select a 2nd guide curve on this panel for instace, it says **error** and the gap just stays there, It wont become tangeant to the panel that is next to it.
I posted some images so you know what i am talking about. I hope you can provide me with some help.
Hello,
The edge you are trying to selct is much longer than your surface. You have to split your surface (according to the door shape). Once splitted, your edge has the right lenght so you can use it for your new surface.
Courage, it's quite a long exercise!
