Modeling Strategy

[lander (CAD CAM CNC)]

as long as you get a side view, front view, top, bottom, back, you can use:

Picture | Rhino 3-D modeling

and set them up in the workspace such that you can carefully turn the 2D images into 3D.

also, I just stumbled on this which is interesting:

Getting curves from a jpg picture

there is a plugin called “vectorize” that you can get from package manager. I used these settings to get this result. [image] not perfect, but a great starting point to remake the curves cleanly, add symmetry etc… would help if you had measurements of the part so you can scale it correctly. otherwise you can bring the part in as a picture object and simply trace over it which is what I’d do if I was given this job.

I was tryna find some threads on this method of the picture/pictureframe:

I know there’s plenty of tutorials that demonstrate it.

definitely seems hard to find good images. although I’m not sure what the rules are for said project.
