Alias Golden Rules


1 - Create a Good 'Flow' of CVs 2 - Use M inimum Number of CVs 3 - Use Single-Span for Smooth Curves 4 - Ensure Tangency across the Centre-Line 5 - Aim to use Four-sided Surfaces 6 - Trim to achieve n-sided Surfaces 7 - Build to Theoretical edges 8 - Set Construction Tolerances at the start 9 - Avoid building from trimmed edges 10 - M atch curves on opposite sides
