Surfacing and Industrial Design

Absolutely agree. And since its not a stand-alone CAD position it just means the designer has to do their utmost to learn and practice the best methods for building and rebuilding to get the best results.

And yes, if you aren’t babysitting that CAD file all the way to the cutting tool, someone might miss your intent completely and just hack a plain-old fillet in where you spec’d a C2.
