Hello friends,
I’m trying to make quality bezier surfaces in Rhino. I found a sketch while surfing the web. With which strategy can I model this? It actually looks easy but I’m confused.
Hi @hunterofrhino
No wonder you’re confused. I think this is a perfect example of something that looks good as a sketch, but is not fully solved in the real (or 3D, at least) world. How are these 4 corners in the same plane?
I would start by doing the shape as a series of really simple, flat surfaces and figure out the overall layout first, then tackle the various blends afterwards.
Here’s a really quick version in 3D - as you can see, it’s quite impossible to have those 4 corners line up in the way it’s shown in the sketch.
So start by figuring out the primary surfaces and the take on the blends.
HTH, Jakob

I agree with you. I thought maybe I missed something.
Hi @hunterofrhino
If you make a REALLY big blend on the top, and a small one at the handle, it’s do-able - but it ain’t pretty 
Also notice how there are no drawings from that particular angle (front-right corner, or whatever you might call it)
