      Those drawings are missing an element in the design...i think?

      The transition from the bowl to the back. I'd imagine it would curve inwards? Have you a real photo?

      you read my mind, Rich! see above... ๐Ÿ‘

              That's pretty close, Rich! ๐Ÿ‘ so what did you do to get it?

              And yes TIG's right; that stainless steel rack on it's lid might make for an iteresting experience.... ๐Ÿ˜†

                Here's a play.
                When you look closely the profiles of front to side are not the same as well as the side walls deminish as it moves to the back. I tried EEByRails but the bottom curve is a questions which you'll see in the plan view....

                I just copied the CAD lines so segments are high and hence many facets so I would need to cut them down. How would I do that considering the welded profile may be made up of differing lines lengths?

                      Andrew, sorry I did not see this earlier.

                      There are obviously many different ways to go about it, here is my starting stab...
                      (I find it useful to use Subdivide & Smooth to create a profile that will later be Subdivided & Smoothed, wait, what? ๐Ÿ˜† )

                              Here's a quick version I created in about 30 minutes with Artisan using a more traditional box modeling technique which has just about all the detail. I captured the video and it's posting to YouTube now-- I'll put a link here when it's done.

                              A real advantage of box modeling is you can go back in easily and tweak proportions and add detail as you go.

                              Here's the skp file:

                                  Rich, how are you able to embed a YouTube vid? Is it something only moderators can do?

                                    here' the link....

                                    [flash=800,600]http://www.youtube.com/v=YwQF1H7ldq0[/flash]
                                    

                                    Use the flash button

                                    Insert dimensions of video after '='

                                    Paste link

                                    delete 'watch?' and the '=' after 'v'

                                    So you get /v/YwQF1H7ldq0

                                    Does that even make sense?

                                    I know Jim has a tool here somewhere that automatically does this? Anyone?

                                      Here's the YouTube Vid:

                                      And if you wait a couple hours, YouTube will automatically convert to 720p so you can see it at hi-rez! Pretty cool ๐Ÿ˜„

                                            Wow guys!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ thanks for spending so much time on tuts!!!!!

                                            One thing that I've been thinking is how they appear in plan and elevation considering htey don.t have visible edges. I downloaded a file from a product website and used it in my model but when setting basic edges styles the model couldn't be seen.... I guess it's just a matter of drawing in the lines you.d need for plan or elevation of just set profiles on......

                                            BTW, It would be interesting to hear what size files you've all created.

                                            Thanks again to you all, it great to see all different workflows.... I'll give it a run tonight
