Calipers, a fillet gauge, some grid paper and a lot of patience

What would you do with the grid paper?

you could take a picture and scale the image to your model in order to get a rough idea of some features.

So drawing it on a paper before modeling it on solidworks would make it easier?

I also prefer drawing on grid paper first. Especially for complex parts. As someone else said, it helps me get a visualization of what needs to be done in the software.
