fuccaro Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Some time ago there was a spoon tutorial on this site. Unfortunately, “some time ago” means more then 10 years, so the CADTutor website decided to eat it. I admit that for a while I just rarely use AutoCAD, I am not “up to day” with the newest techniques and probably I also forgot some of the old ones too. My question would be: could someone post a tutorial about “How do I draw a spoon”? I remember the old method (for AutoCAD 2006, if I am not wrong) was pretty long and used a lot of modeling techniques. For sure the today's young ninjas will get the job done with a few clicks… Will anybody take up the glove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I vaguely remember that thread. Did it involve drawing both a top and side view in 2D extruding them then using the Interfere command to derive the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yes, the handle was drawn as you just described it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrm Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 You could extrude a top view and a side view and then use the Boolean solid intersect command as a start. It would then require you to hollow out the bownl pottion of the spoon. This could be done in a variety of ways including making section cuts then offset curves which are lofted to creat a solid that could be subtracted to form the bowl.

I wonder if it's possible to do some digital archeology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADTutor Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 OK, so I managed to find an 11 year old SQL file. Located the spoon tutorial in old style forum markup. I also found the images in my forum archive. I pulled together the text and images and marked them all up with modern HTML. A very enjoyable hour Merry Christmas! https://cadtutor.net/archive/spoon/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little more digging and I can tell you that fuccaro's tutorial was posted on 13th August 2003, that's almost 20 years ago!
