    hi there. Just started using solidworks 2004 - really impressed but
    i`m stuck on something and wondered if anyone could give me a clue.


    I`m trying to make a shape similar to a mobile fone, lots of curves.
    Had some success with guided sweeps, but cant seem to get enough
    control over these.

    I would like to be able to create a 'cage' with lines & splines and
    put a surface on that, is this possible with SW ??


    Thanks a lot for any advice

  2. Have you tried using Lofts? Sounds like a better match to what you are doing
    than Sweeps. You could also try Fill Surfaces with constraint curves.

    As Dale said, download Ed Eaton's three Curvy Stuff tutorials and work your
    way through them. There's gold in them thar powerpoints!
