Learn how to offset the seat to give it thickness, and loft a surface connecting the top and bottom surfaces. Then use SURFSCULPT and FILLETEDGE to round off the seat.
- [Instructor] Now that we've…completed the design of the seat,…we no longer really need to look at it…in four different view ports, because we don't…need to track the motion of the CV simultaneously…from different points of view.…So, I'll type vports, enter,…and go back to a single view port, and click okay.…Now I'm going to orbit, and as I do,…it'll encounter something that's called gimbal lock,…where you can't orbit past a certain point.…
Here I can't go further than that,…and it's somewhat awkward.…And this is because we've modeled everything on the ground…for an object that is really meant…to be stood up on its wheels.…So we can get around this problem by using 3D free orbit.…3D F enter will get you into this mode,…and then you can orbit without these constraints.…This will just make it easier to take a look…at the underside of the seat.…
Now, I'd like to offset this surface…to create the underside.…I'll go to surface offset, click on the surface, enter,…and then the white arrows show the default direction,…
