011 Cap Surface Modeling - Part #2

In this tutorial, the visor of the cap that was started in the first tutorial is created and the whole cap is finalized. The visor of the cap is also modeled using Generative surface design module in Catia.



The Visor is modeled in ten steps:
  1. The profile of the visor is sketched and the visor surface is extruded using the extrude command.
  2. The Visor surface is split into two pieces using the split tool.
  3. The remainder of the visor surface is again split into two surfaces removing the one in the bowl.
  4. This part is mirrored and the fill surfaces (at the visor side) are joined to create one surface.
  5. The visor is used to cut this one surface removing the part below the visor.
  6. A 3D round corner is applied at the sharp corner of the visor.
  7. A split surface is created through extrusion from the 3D corner and the visor is split once more.
  8. A line is drawn through the visor at the bowl side and a split surface is created to remove the outer part.
  9. Boundary curves are created to define the skeleton structure of the Fill surface operation.
  10. Fill Surface is created and mirrored.
Here is the video that shows in full details how to create the visor:
