SR71 Nose, Help with workflow needed please :)

[Anonymous]

Hi guys

I am in desperate need of some assistance

 i am trying to produce a nose for a SR71 blackbird.

I have the profile, The sketched object is the 1st former of the airplane, the outer edges cannot be modified, or it will not fit the airplane.

I have inserted the 2 view canvases, 

I have tried this on my own, but cannot make any real progress, 

What am i to do next? 

i have been trying to find some sort of tutorial video on how i can get this shape just right, but either i am searching for completely the wrong thing, or i am just stupid. 🙂

Limited information, limits how much to say, 

You need to decide if you are doing half with mirror, or quarter with 2 mirrors, or the full complicated version. Twice or four times the same work makes for more errors to creep in.

(I would do a quadrant and mirror twice.)

Loft will work, with another former at the nose, and "enough rails" to make the accurate shape.

Loft needs 2 profiles, and rails to pull the shape into place.

Share the file, we may be able to give more details.

Might help.

that really helps thank you so much 🙂 

I was trying to do too much at the same time. 

Breaking it down into top/bottom, then left/right is the easier option for me, 

that wall I need do is mirror the individual pieces once, as the profile is different from top/bottom 🙂 

I was just looking at it completely wrong. 🙂 

thank you.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for asking about this in the Forum

Yes, I would agree with @davebYYPCU, just sketch half of the nose and mirror it.

I have just seen that your sketch´s are still blue, so not constraint.

Could you make sure that they are all constraint, so you see the Red Pin on the sketch icon and the lines appear black 😉

Thank you,
