SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Complex C2 Scoop Tutorial

Complex C2 Scoop: The surface is created with two sketches in direction 1, and one sketch in direction 2. The sketches in direction 1 are pierced to the sketch on the right plane that becomes direction 2. The outside sketch partial elipse will be used to trim the main surface, and the inner partial elipse will be used to trim the bottom of the scoop. The surface is split to allow a new sketch to be made C2(curvature continuous) via the equal curvature relation. Note that the short edges between the two blends are not used for the surface. Adding these to the feature creates undulations in the surface that are not acceptable. However, the edges will lay on each other due to the constraints already used. If there are any extremely small gaps, the Surface Knit will fix these.
