Cast Iron Pan - Modeling Method
Cast Iron Pan - Modeling Method
(OP)
I am reverse-engineering a cast iron pan and the handle has some semi-complicated curves. Wondering what the best method of modeling this would be. Loft with guide curves? Sweep with guide curves?

If there is symmetry always cut it in half. I.E. If you put a horizontal plane down the center of the handle is the top and bottom symmetrical? Its best to surface a symmetric feature and then mirror that to create the whole thing.
I have designed several hand remotes this way and it works best to do guide curves and section lines, kind of like when lofting the hull of a boat.
