We’re taking a look at connecting two separate splines into one beautiful clean spline, looking at ways of terminating closed shapes using all of the various surfacing tools available to us. We’ll also go over how to easily make sub-assemblies easier to work with within the context of mates and larger assemblies and review a few of our traditional spline creation methods and introduce a new method, the ‘Style Spline’.

Part 2: Closing Surfaces

Some of the most difficult shapes in CAD are the ones that ‘cap’ or ‘terminate’ closed shapes. We’ll be looking at ways of terminating closed shapes using all of the various surfacing tools available to us in SolidWorks.
