Wrought-Iron Decorative Window Grill

The Challenge

What needed to be designed

I used this piece to practise ornamental CAD — mirrored sketches so left and right halves are guaranteed identical, and standard spacing that would let the same drawing be re-used.

The Approach

How DesignForge approached it

  1. 1

    Modeled the scroll-work as mirrored sketches in SolidWorks so left and right halves are guaranteed identical.

  2. 2

    Standardized the vertical bar spacing and base band height.

  3. 3

    Produced a print-ready fabrication drawing.
