Parting Lines
First project a COS at the center of the intended parting line. Do the door in the Right view and then in the Top view make and position a projection curve which matches the end of the previous projected curve.
TIP: Mark the top end of the center COS at the top of the door (Right view) with a Construction Point and then make sure that your next COS in the tpop view marries up with it.
Tip: If after projecting the second curve, it fails to connect exactly with your first curve, just move the CV’s of your projection crv. and the COS will update using dirrect history. This is one of the miricals of Alias.
Tubulat Offset Control. Use this tool to create COS (R= 3) as soon as you have produced the tube surf you can delete it, as all we require are the 2 outboard COS that this process creates. The center COS you can now also delete
OK things should look like this!
Tube Flange Control set to create fillets R= 1.5 mm. and flange depth = 5 mm.
Tubular Flange Control. Click the first outboard COS and wait for the tool to build the Filet and Flange. This is the shoulder of my Audi A5, so I have checked the Z Vector option, as I require my Flange to build downwards.
Once you have built both sides of your Parting Line you will need to trim out the part of the original surf. which is covering your new creation.
Here we can see all the surfs. that comprise the Parting line i.e. Skin surf at the bottom to close the model and then on the left and right a fillet and a flange
Should look a lot like this!
Everything looking as it should, in Autodesk Alias Studio 2010

To Learn Alias Automotive to Industry entry level has been made easier.
For student’s who have the objective of finding a CAD job in the near future, I still teach One to One students and all of these students get Automotive Modeling or Design/Modeling jobs, so it’s a great investment to make. The hourly rate is very high and there are vacancies in UK. France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, USA, Brazil etc. I can only take a maximum of 5 students at any one time. I teach all levels right up to Post Graduates. <I have never had a Private student fail to get an Alias Automotive job (Companies include Ferrari, GM, Lotus, Opel, Audi Seat etc. ). If you wish to apply for a place, please email me with all your details.
