This is Part 3 of the drone modeling series. If you miss part 2 check it out here: https://youtu.be/5Sbkoe3e8W8
In this video I go into how I use surface modeling to create the drone body. I cover how I use the boundary surface, trim surface, and fill surface in SolidWorks.
If you missed any of the previous videos please click the link to get caught up.
