Modeling wood carving / corbel

Kustaa_1

I'd like to model a corbel, something like attached pic, but my own design cause I cannot find one that fits our kitchen plan.

Any tips on how to do this on Onshape would be appreciated.

I've tried splines on planes with loft and that gets me some way towards what I want to do.

Modelling the leaf patter which is on the curved front looks like a pain.

Splines on curved planes would be nice.

Lofts along paths (like sweeps) would seem to be nice too.

Would not like to get a Rhino license just for this, not that I think/know Rhino would be better but at least I've found some tuorials.

I did a search in Public Documents and there's a lot to peruse there. You might also try Grabcad. You might find a model you can modify, or take bits and pieces from models to use in your own. It's also interesting and a way to discover and gain new tools in seeing how the author of a document accomplished features. - Scotty

Here is a link to the document containing the workflow that we ended up going with for the corbel model in the post @NeilCooke mentioned above. The design changed quite a bit before the final corbel was machined.

Keep in mind this is an old model with some out of date Onshape techniques. This workflow could be improved greatly, but it is a start.

Marvellous - Thank you Michael, just shows what you can do with Onshape.
