Tutorial - Basic surface modeling of mouse in SolidWorks?

1. Step 1
Start SolidWorks in Part Mode.

2.

Step 2
Front Plane>>Sketch and draw this entity using spline.

3.

Step 3
Now offset front plane by 30mm in both directions.

4.

Step 4
The planes are generated.

5.

Step 5
Plane1>>Sketch.

6.

Step 6
Draw a spline.

7.

Step 7
On plane2 Sketch the same entity using convert entity tool.

8.

Step 8
Under surfaces tab choose boundary surface.

9.

Step 9
Select the sketch in order and click OK.

10. Step 10
Top plane>>Sketch.

11. Step 11
Draw two symmetrical splines.

12. Step 12
Trim the surfaces using those splines.

13. Step 13
Top Plane>>Sketch.

14. Step 14
Draw a spline like this one coincident to end point of surface.

15. Step 15
Under surfaces tab choose lofted surface.

16. Step 16
Select the edge and sketch and adjust the connector.

17. Step 17
Now mirror the lofted surface body to other side

18. Step 18
Under surfaces tab choose filled surface.

19. Step 19
Select the bottom edges to form a filled surface.

20. Step 20
Top plane>>Sketch.

21. Step 21
Draw a spline and offset it by 0.25.

22. Step 22
Trim the enclosed surface.

23. Step 23
Again Top plane>>Sketch and draw a box symmetrical along horizontal axis.

24. Step 24
Trim the enclosed region.

25. Step 25
Top plane>>Sketch.

26. Step 26
Make an ellipse.

27. Step 27
Offset the button faces to inside.

28. Step 28
Trim the faces using ellipse like this.

29. Step 29
Top plane>>Sketch.

30. Step 30
Make this profile.

31. Step 31
Trim the bottom surface.

32. Step 32
And we have the basic surface of the mouse body. It can be done more better if done with extra care.

33. Step 33
The rendered image.
