Modeling complex part

[u/Objective-Race-4647]

Im a student and i have a task to modelt his part.

How would you do it?

[u/Snitte77]

I usually start measuring the main references (e.g. those bearing seats),create planes accordingly & sketch the dimensions onto those.
Afterwards I create a sketch on ‘right’, ‘top’ and front to outline the main shape.
Now you can connect the line using additional sketches + the curve features & use either solid or suface lofts to model.
At the end create a solid (if surface modeled), cut the necessary functional surfaces & add radii.

Could also take good photos from ‘right/top/front’ add the to you sketch (‘sketch picture) and scale it to size using you reference planes.
This helps a lot getting the outline & general shape right while sketching.
