I remember a video you did a while back in Catia that showed us how to do this. I took that and applied it in NX and gave me fantastic results. These techniques help so much with understanding that the software does only what you tell it to. I have developed a so-called 'vision' of what I need to do with the tools to achieve the results I want. Thanks again Steve.
Hey Steve, thanks for the great videos. Any chance that you could make the part files available in each video so that we can attempt to recreate what you've shown?
Hey Neil, I have been asked that before. I teach courses that I give parts away in for students. This RUclips stuff is partly for fun and partly to help others. I just can't hand everything out.
Would you create all the blends right away as separate surfaces (do not sew) and do not trim the surfaces, the blend is created of? For instance, when a surface creates a blend with another surface, I create a blend but do not trim. Later on, the first surface creates another blend. Would you do all the trimming and sewing in the end?

You are most certainly welcome. Love to hear about that kind of success.
Many thanks Steve! I will go back over the bonnet area taking account of your advice.

Hey Neil,

Coming from a solid modelling background I tend to leave all my blends until the end, is this a bad habit when it comes to surfacing?
Yes sir, think of the blends (big ones anyway) as part of the main body. Also build them as separate entities,

Yes. Exactly. I seldom ever trim automatically. It is critical you do the patch layout with untrimmed surfaces.
Good job.
Thanks
Do you know how to put a variable radius over an existing one?
