You are guided from a review of surfacing basics, to advanced surface modeling of real-world objects, to an explanation and example of hybrid modeling, to surface repairs and patches.

Each project touches on a variety of frequently used commands such as extrude, loft, boundary, and sweep; surface revolved, filled, split, and knit; using deform and configurations; mirroring bodies; creating an axis, curve driven and circular patterns, fillets, and molded parts. Look for the post-it notes next to commands for helpful tips and definitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, you will learn techniques of hybrid modeling, the combination of surface and solid modeling.

The last two chapters focus on molded parts, creating and saving visual properties of models, and how to repair faulty surfaces.
