Car Back Door Design
Aim:
To design car back door from given styling surface data under given design rules and regulations.
Car Back Door and Components:
The back door is a hinged door/tailgate at the rear of the vehicle. It may be used for loading and unloading cargo, or to get passengers in and out, in case there are seats present at the rear. The back door comprises of certain components which form the back door assembly together.

Commands used during design:
Offset Surface – It allows you to offset one or more existing surfaces.
Offset Curve in Face – This command will allow you to offset particular edges or curves on selected faces.
Trim Sheet – It is used to trim off a portion of a sheet body using curves, faces, edges or planes.
Law Extension – This command extends a curve or edge to create a sheet body at desired angle length by changing the rules under angle law and length law.
Trim and Extend – It helps you to trim and extend intersecting surfaces and make corner at their intersection.
Face Blend – It creates fillets between faces.
Edge Blend – It creates fillets on edges.
Extend Sheet – It will allow you to extend an existing surface to required distance.
Emboss – Emboss command creates an embossing by modifying a body with faces created by projecting a curve/section along a direction. You can modify the emboss using options like endcap location and draft angle.
Mirror Geometry – As name suggests, it allows you to mirror geometries about selected plane or surface.
Thicken – It is used to convert a surface to solid body by providing thickness.
Extrude – It helps you to create a feature from a sketch. You are also able to create thin feature using a sketch or curve under this command.
Extract Body – It is used to create an associative body by extracting faces, entire body or region of faces.
Bridge Curve – It helps to create a tangent blend curve between two objects. The objects may be edges or sketch curves.
Sew – It combines sheet bodies together by sewing their common edges. There shouldn’t be any gaps larger than specified tolerance.
Conclusion:
the following back door design is designed using suitable commands under design regulations.
