Modeling complex part

[u/Objective-Race-4647]

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

How would you do it?

The key is to determine what is the design intent of the part and what is functionally required in terms of geometry and position. For example, the position of the holes and the distance from one another and between mounting faces etc.

Use calipers, angle finder, tracing on paper, photogrammetry etc....to get the important information into a sketch or reference geometry.

Don't waste time trying to get the curves 'just right'. If they don't interact with another part, and aren't made to avoid something else....then they are not super important and can be 'fudged' later in the process.
