Aircraft cowl

[Gary27]

Hi, Gary from Holland here!

I dont know German so I'll try to explain my problem in English and hope someone can help.

Can someone pls help?

I want to draw a cowl like on the plane on the picture. I think that it has to be done as a separate upper and lower half.

So I can try 2 things I think:
1: make a solid model
2: try to surface from curves

Can someone pls help me and tell me how I should build the top and bottom part of this cowl?
Which technique is the way to go and how should I do it?
How should I make the transition from the round nose to the more square fuselage?
How should I fillet/chamfer/blend the cowl?

I hope someone can help. I like drawing airplanes but the cowl are always a difficult part for me.

Thank you in advance!

Dear Gary,

thank you for your faith in this forum. You are right, this is just a german Rhino forum. Please ask you english questions in the McNeel-Forum here: https://discourse.mcneel.com/

I would start filleting your objects with the _FilletEdge command.

Good luck

Michael
