Creating solid geometry from basic extruded and lofted surfaces

With this recipe, you will complete the modeling of an EV charger using basic surface tools. You will learn how to create a basic extruded surface for use as a termination point for an extrude and how to create and apply a lofted surface, which transitions between two edges on different surfaces. The resultant surfaces will then be combined with a stitch operation and converted to solid geometry.

The completed model of the EV charger you will create is shown in Figure 4.17:

Figure 4.17: Completed EV charger model

Getting ready

You will need to access the EV Charger.ipt file in the EV Charger folder within the Chapter 4 folder.

How to do it…

The EV charger model is partially created and you do not have to build this from scratch. We will be applying surface modeling techniques to complete the model. To do this, let’s see the following:

  1. Open EV Charger.ipt. The unconsumed...
