i AM ENJOYING THIS POST OF WIP 2007 AND ALSO VERY INTETESTING. FEELING VERY HAPPY TO SEE THE RESPONSE FOR THIS POST. BUT SINCE I DO NOT KNOW ANY IDEA ABOUT TOP-DOWN ASSY, I CAN NOT CAPTURE HOW UR DOING THIS FANTASTICALLY. MY BEST WISHES !!!

thanks bro, appreciated. Top-down is a great way to manage multiple parts without slowing down your computer. A great tool to learn and very high demand in the job maket. Updates to come soon.
Here are a few updates. My computer is really acting up so its taking me forever to get features to work. There arent any rounds yet on this model. That is the reason it looks so edgy.
Everything is surfaced then thickened. THe main parts that you see here are the fenders, front clip, headlights, and hood. Those are the individual parts in the assembly thus far. With skeleton modeling that front clip is less than 20 features.
Nice designs out there and as usual CPiotrowski u just keep on impressing us by ur designs thts gr8 work out there iam really very eager to see new posts one thing i wanna ask u do u use style option while designing the cars keep doing the gr8 work
I would like to know if you mirror your features. On the bike I'm
working on (my first surfacing project) I am having a little trouble
getting the surfaces to connect properly. I think that mirroring
would help, but I worry about the continuity across the mirror plane.
Maybe I'm just trying to be too analytical with the surfacing...
Apologies all for the previous post. I just read the tutorials on
sharptechdesign.com, and all I can say is WOW. Thanks to the guys
there for making a great tutorial.
Another note/question: How to I remove the blue lines from an ISDX generated curve when I leave the feature?
Thanks everyone for the great compliments, I could only hope that GM would even look at this design when its done...likely not
. You can either hide the curves, turn them off in your model display properties or layer them of by clicking on layers and blanking the curve layer. Yes, I mirror the entire part, everything is modeled on one side of the center plane. I rarely use STYLE tool, I find it faster for myself to use curves and bounded surfaces. Style is a great tool tho but I am still working on incorporating it into my modeling. When I modeled the Mustang I did it at work and there they dont have the ISDX module so it wasnt even an option for me. I have it at home but havent reallyfelt the need to incorporate it yet. As of right now I typically just use curves. Edited by: CPiotrowski
Hi C.P. I think this is realy profesional work. Yes, ISDX is great funcion in Proe to create some curves(projected, tangent,normal...) and surfaces too. Boundary function is too complicated to create: for exaple tangent connect of two surfaces after the mirroring.
Just for information. After I posted these images I realized that I hate the fog light covers. I tried to make them similar to the originals but it just looks stupid. I was gonna remove the images but you might as well see the failures also.
