Thanks to all. What’s great about the iMac back is how well it hides the mass of the internals, as it tapers to that uncanny thin edge.
Mrog that’s a nice tutorial. I’m not too familiar with Alias but the simple mono-rail exploration surface almost looks like simply a ‘Sweep’ in SolidWorks. As long as the parent section curve is nice and smooth it could result in a decent starting surface, or as a reference as the tutorial describes.
This is just for prototyping at the moment so I can get away with fills and patches, as long as they don’t blow up in CNC programming. I have some wiggle room for the outermost border
Will try to provide as little info as possible to the Fill tool and hopefully it calculates a nice result.
Thanks for all who replied.
