Hi guys,

I`m trying to build a model of an Acer Notebook but I stuck at recreating the part where the keyboard is.
I´m not really sure whether I messed something up or I used a totally wrong approach to create such a surface.
Porblem is that i finally get a solid which looks quite like it should but I cant work on with it.
I want to fillet the some parts of it which and cant get it work.


Here are my steps building this surface:

At first I created the curves for the outer part of the surface.



Then I used Sweep to build a surface out of that curves.



Next I used Planar to create the flat surface at the front of the surface.






Now we get to the part where things get a little bit complicated or where I used the a totaly wrong approach :-D

Here I created a curve with a small offset and fillet.



Which I used to create a loft between these two curves.



In the next step I created curves for the inner part of the keyboard.



I used Sweep to create a surface out of these curves.



In the Final step I used Planar to get finally get a solid out of this surface.




Thanks

All the best

Holger
