        How do you intend to use the model once you have it complete? That will have an impact on the process you use to model it.

        I would use a few extensions such as Curviloft and FredoCorner in the process. Curviloft will make quick work of the comes although you'll need to weld some edges first. TIG Weld would help. All these extensions are available in the Sketchucation Extension Store.

        Please update your profile. It says you are using SU2015.

          Hi Dave
          Thanks!
          The model will be for rendering my studio design, so it can be more realistic.
          Need your suggestion for the best method.

            So no internal details needed.

            I guess I would use the CAD file as a reference and redraw from scratch. There are excessive numbers of segments on many of the curves in the import and they will not add anything useful to the model. As I suggested, for the cones, you can use Curviloft to create the surfaces.

            Since this is going to be used as entourage in your studio model, resist the urge to go crazy with the small details that won't be seen anyway.
