I also worked at the DiMonte Group for 6 years and presented my own take on Solidworks surfacing at the annual Solidworks World conference. Ed hasn’t given a surfacing presentation in a few years, all of the recent surfacing content was my own. It’s not beginner level material, but once you have the basics down some of the techniques may help you bring your surfacing game to the next level.
Each of the sessions can be viewed on YouTube and I would highly recommend downloading the source files linked in the description. It’s one thing to watch the presentation, it’s another to actually run through the feature tree of the models.
