Plastic chair modeling

Hello

I have a model of a 3DS max chair that I have to reproduce identically on solidworks (attached the part in question), how do I model it with exactly the same dimensions and how do I make the small bulge all around which also serves as an armrest? Should I do surface for the seat and backrest instead?

an image of your room would be preferable to have + answers we don't all have the same log and the same version of SW

but the fact is that you will + easily switch to surface

This is what the PJ chair looks like

Hello

You have to use the blueprint method. Here is a tutorial to get there:

And the video that goes with it for the setting up of the images:

see this super well done tutorial from our friend @ Romain Ginestou

that will allow you to design via blueprints

so recreate all the parts of all shapes in surface

I managed to get the projected curve I wanted, now impossible to create the desired surface from that and the middle plane...
