The Automotive Workflow
Below is the typical sequence of work involved in a vehicle design project.
- 1. 2D Curves
- 2. Primary surfaces
- 3. Rough graphics
- 4. Design evaluation and possible changes
- 5. As watertight primary surfaces as possible
- 6. Secondary surfaces
- 7. Graphics and fillets
The sequence respects the Golden Rule of modelling 'Big to Small', but also recognises that some detail surfaces need to be 'roughed in' at the early stages to facilitate the decision-making stage of the project.
