Basic Modelling Question

ian_bb

I am relatively new to OnShape, but have learnt the basics. However, when it comes to modelling from 2D views I am struggling to find a suitable approach. Perhaps someone can suggest how the following should be modelled.


Do I trace the side view and extrude, then cut away in the plan view, or trace the plan view and extrude vertically, then model the head and rotate? None seem ideal.

@ian_bb . this is relatively simple, it is the intersection of two sketches,  I imported the images, traced over them and performed two extrudes from each direction, the first being an extrusion for the depth and the section the intersection of the volume containing both extrudes.  Funny enough, while I was drawing this, slowhand himself, Eric Clapton was playing on the Sonos here at the office at Onshape.

If you are modeling a guitar, Here was my take on it a while back.
This should answer future questions as well I hope
