Marcus Bole - PolyCAD - Illustrations and Examples

Illustrations and Examples
This sections shows a range of illustrative examples of how PolyCAD can be used to model a range of different surface shapes. The software has a range of tools so that depending on the complexity of the surface the right tool for the modelling task can be selected. These illustrations show the modelling stages that a surface may go through to achieve a particular shape. Tutorials can be found in the help which show the modelling process in more detail and illustrate the commands and user interface tools used to develop the surfaces.
