Hi,
I was wondering something. It may silly to some of you, but here itgoes: everywhere I read about "robust" design or model, but, if youcan arrive to the same result (at least on appearance) by two oreven three different ways (say you could extrude or revolve), howdo you know which one is best or will give you better results? Ifboth parts look the same and have the same dimensions, is therereally a differnce between them because of how you created thesolid? Even further, if you are to send that part to manufacture,how can you tell which method of modeling is best?
Another question: what are 3D planes and sketches really used for?Matt Lombard advices in his book to stay away from them, but Iwonder if any of you has used them for something and withoutgetting in many or any complications.
Thanks,
