Here's my summary of this video: 1. Using a "patch" layout before surfacing a complex geometry. 2. Reference surface = a straight surface extrude of the profile. Good practice for initiating the surfacing. 3. Boundary surface vs. Surface Fill & Trim: a.) 4x sided surface should be created with "boundary surface" command. b.) 2,3,5 sided surface should be created with "surface fill" and "trim back" 4. Surface to surface joint relations: a.) Contact relation = abrupt radius change b.) Tangent relation = equal angle, but abrupt radius change c.) Curvature relation = equal radius at junction = smooth transition
this series of tutorials is so helpful. Thank you!
