See 'The Light©' with the '3 Step Max'-Challenge

I have realised, that we never disclosed any solution to this challenge: https://grabcad.com/groups/weekly-challenge-group/discussions/3-step-max so here comes a complete tutorial on how I did it. Even though the model is only 3 steps, it contains 7 features and the tutorial use 27 steps, because there are some necessary extra steps needed to make it work in my ancient (but expensive) Solidworks 2014. You will learn some essential tricks such as 'Fit Spline' along the way and maybe eventually see 'The Light©'.

In this tutorial I will show why surface and solid models are identical and the encapsulating surface mesh contain all the information of the model. In other words: Solid geometry is actually surface geometry!

Surface modelling a mouse in Solidworks

When you want to model a mouse in Solidworks, e.g. HP X3000 or similar, there is no easy way to do it. You'll need to create several individual surfaces that are trimmed and filleted into the final shape. It is not a linear process because many of the input splines are qualified guesswork, that needs to be revised/reshaped to achieve the wanted result. It is more art than engineering...!

When working with large SolidWorks models you may experience unwanted display issues that are related to the resolution settings. This tutorial explains what can happen, why it happens and how to deal with these issues.

The model is defined by four variables, that can be changed to generate new variations of the geometry.

Hi Raouf I know why you are confused and have made a small tutorial that explains what's (not) happening :-)
