Hello, I want to know how to draw a complete sole in solidworks?
Sole of the type.
Thank you
Hello
The image is not very detailed... Is it possible to have other images to better visualize this sole? Do you just need the blue part?
Kind regards

Hello, you need the entire sole, so all the elements that make it up.
Thank you
I have other small questions.
Do you want a hyper-precise model (with holes, small waves...)?
Do you have this sole in your possession?

Personally, I would draw this kind of object like a car body.
I will use either a volume straightening.
Start with several sketches containing the different curves, then model the whole with guide curves.

Yes, I have the sole in my possession. The more precise the better, we would like to send it to 3D printers later.
The different layers of the sole are cut into plates and are then molded to give different shape to the arch and heel.
The best would be to have a 3D scanner =)
Otherwise, I advise you to find front views on the side etc... to reproduce the sole in the middle.
Or alternatively, find a foot already modeled, on Grabcad or other and create a sole via the already created foot.

This solution is being studied! ;-)
I have a 3D foot positive(. STL) that was made by a customer. Is there a way to form a flat sole to your foot in 3D?
It is impossible for us to have the different views of the sole, they are drawn on a 2D software and simply in top view.
Thank you for your answers.
Do you have the stl of the client for me to do a test?

Yes @Bart, the best would be a 3D scanner. That's why I asked because the shapes are quite complex. It may be necessary to consider using this technology if it is a major project.
In my opinion and given that it is only spline; I think you have to start by creating the sole as a whole and in a single piece. The divisions of the bodies will be done in a second phase in order to check the interlocking of each body.
You have to do as @Bart wrote, i.e. by drawing the curves according to different views and the measurements you can take on the sole. Then, we have to connect these curves by doing surface.
There are quite a few tutorials on Lynkoa that illustrate simple cases to guide you in the functions to use.
Good luck!!
This is what I get by importing the customer's foot, and by doing either a shell function, or an offset surface function.
I enclose the result.

And here's the base part with the offset surface function.
If you are under SW 2014 you will be able to read it.

Either you manage to take points to reframe the splines. (especially towards the middle)
Otherwise, you will have to go through sections to take the sides by cutting either the sole or making a mold to avoid deteriorating the sole.
After that, there must probably be reference points with the foot provided in iges.

Still relevant?
I had forgotten that one:p
Good luck!
