Hello
I'm not used to making complex 3D shapes.
I have to make the shape of a fish in hollow shape see photos fish 2 in attachments posted
I try to do a smoothed removal of material, but I can't make the queue that separates into 2 parts.
See fish.sldprt file posted as attachments.
Could you tell me what's wrong?
Do you have any advice on how to make the mouth or the scales by telling me which functions used.
Thank you in advance.
Hello @ Criss
if you want a maximum of answers
Make it easy for everyone to see (screenshot)
so give answers to your problem
we don't all have the same versions or the same log
See this tutorial

Solidworks 2017 file.
Screenshots to put in the message are essential.

It would be easier with a preview indeed, but sometimes it's easier to draw the body (here the fish and to subtract the fish from a rectangular block.
To do this, menu: insert/Functions/Combine (and in combine choose subtract)
Be careful not to fusinate the 2 bodies before combining them by subtraction.

Hello
I put a screenshot attached, I'm going to use the GT22 tutorial that I thank by the way
http://www.lynkoa.com/sites/default/files/modelisation_dun_poisson.pdf
I use it and I'll get back to you
And the scanner?
I asked a scanner vendor the following question:
Hello
I have clients who ask me to scan parts.
Currently I make my 3D drawings manually with a caliper and visually with a photo.
Do you have a good quality scanner that can perform a hollow scan, see the attached image.
But who does not realize that a point cloud, because the customer asks to make modifications for example for the slightly larger fish or the smaller fins or scales some small wear defects to be removed.
Are the scanners smart and do they make point relations to draw a curve or editable straight lines?
Can you do this type of work ?
Pretty negative answer:
Our company is equipped with a 3D scanner that generates .obj files that can be easily reworked using dedicated software.
Unfortunately, our system is not capable of creating shape or line relationships that can be used in CAD. As for the accuracy, it remains relatively good (I think around 0.5mm).
It is very difficult to give us a decision without testing because it all depends on the object to be scanned and your expectations.
I am thinking of acquiring this type of scanner: http://www.easy-3d-store.fr/scanners-3d/111-scanner-3d-sense-cubify.html
But I'm afraid of spending a lot of time and having a mediocre result as a beginner.
I have a completion time of 15 days and I have to create 5 complex shapes see attached photos
so difficult with so little time to go in all directions while knowing that I make quotes all day long I have 2 hours every evening to devote to drawing + Saturday
Hello
If I had had this work to do, I think I would have started with the modeling of the fish in surface and not in volume. I find it simpler but above all more flexible.
Once the model is finished, all you have to do is convert it into a volume and do as sbadenis advised you. (Subtraction of volumes) then circular repetition.

Hello
I have wires between the surfaces I built see the wire in red in the attached photo
This is a problem for me, would it be possible to delete it is thread between bossed shape/smoothed base?
Hello
Apply a small radius (0.1) to the junction of these faces and it should work.
Good evening
Just to illustrate the use of surfaces for complex shapes.
20 minutes of work...
Well I admit, he has a bad head XD
But hey with 25 minutes:)
You have to add a sketch for the first surface and it is possible to make the queu directly with the body.

Hello
I thank GT22 for the tutorial, thanks to this, I managed to create the 3D fish.
I couldn't get the top of the tail, I started over a few times with no success, and I couldn't get the vertical lines out of the fish
This is the first time I've used 3D functions on solidworks, so I'm quite limited in function
I would like to thank Yves T. for providing me with an example with high positions, I will try to use them.
I spent 20 hours to make the fish, it's way too much compared to Yves T.'s 25 minutes, I have to do a training on 3D, if you know a nice teacher who is able to send it to me here is my email:
But I'm sorely lacking time on Tuesday I'm going to return the molds to the customer, I made 3D modeling clay molds that are usable.
I have to make 5 shapes (in principle, I should have already finished).
I want help with these shapes, I want to put my basic 2D sketches in relation to a photo and then add depth points every X millimeter
I simply offer that you help me and of course I reward you with your time spent , here is my email to agree how to do it.
On the following answers I will explain what my client is asking me (the specifications) on each post I would put an attached file (you can put only one attached file per post) so several posts will be necessary.
Thank you in advance

The different forms of candy
Shrimp
Clam 1
Clam 2
Fish
Logo Siren
The customer request is quite simple, I received 2 cylinders engraved in bronze there are shapes engraved on them. Which have been artistically handcrafted each hollow shape and therefore a little different.
I am asked to copy these shapes as close as possible, because we want to keep the same volume of candy or even indicate the volume on the plan or the 3D
To be able to make a 3D printer mold that represents the final candy there, the customer can slightly modify the shape aesthetically according to his desire.
so it's not a precision mold
For: 1) fish 2) shrimp 3) clam 1 (curved mold).it's 3 there are on the bronze cylinder
or a half-symmetry on one cylinder and another half-symmetry on the other cylinder the cooked sugar paste passes between the 2 cylinders and for the candy comes out in 3D
4) clam 2 (it's a "LITTLE FLOWERS" flower), but I don't have it on the bronze mold I have a simple pink candy I'm going to photograph it and indicate the depths
5) Mermaid there I received 2 PDFs with dimensions plus a native 3D .ai ?? On the mermaid there will certainly be a volume of candy to respect.
once all the drawings are perfected I will make a negative in assembly to be able to use my CAM and engrave the shape on the cylinder
1) Here is the fish attached
I couldn't get the top of the tail, I started over a few times with no success, and I couldn't get the vertical lines out of the fish
Here are the raw photos of the bronze cylinder without zoom attachment that can be used as a basis for solidworks
For: 1) fish 2) shrimp 3) clam 1 (curved mussel)
4) clam 2 (it's a "LITTLE FLOWERS" flower), but I don't have it on the bronze mold I have a simple pink candy I'm going to photograph it and indicate the depths
I managed to digitize the photo on 2 planes so we have all the dimensions I think
5) Mermaid there I received 3 PDFs with different dimensions
On the mermaid there is a volume of candy to be respected. Which must correspond to make an average to shrimp and fish shellfish. So the siren to be done last.
plus a native 3D .ai ?? addobe illustrator CS3 and required to import an addobe illustrator file into solidworks
Those who have illustrator could they try it to see if it's the complete form and convert it into a solidworks file
Hello
If you have several molds to make for candies, ask Clementine to create a challenge.

Hello Cobra,
I don't really know what a challenge is, because I'm new to this forum, but I'm guessing
Why not the first 3 forms are quite complex and I think it would be a nice challenge
Who is clementine should you send her a private message?
For my part, I'm more of an estimator and I make 2D plans from time to time for classic mechanics
I sketched 2D the shrimp and I put depth readings at the foot of depth in the form of text the hook point of the text is where the depth was taken +-
