From rough idea to production-ready
Before
AfterWhat needed to be designed
I wanted to practise driving an ornamental design from parametric geometry — true radius arches, equally-spaced bars, and reusable finial library parts — instead of freehand.
How DesignForge approached it
- 1
Modeled the arch as a true radius with equally-spaced vertical bars in SolidWorks.
- 2
Designed brass-tipped spear finials and a centre wheel ornament as reusable library parts.
- 3
Issued a 1:10 elevation with all bar centres, arch radius, and the ring kickplate pattern dimensioned.
What was produced
Rendered view with finished finials and centre wheel emblem.
