Trim-Out the Front Quarter-light
From your sideglass and use it as the base for the triangular Mirror Base Plate
A Prod. mirror has an elaborate hinge mech. with channels to take wiring, but as we are making a basic mirror, we don’t need to worry about that
Just make a telescopic joint, which if you wish you can make oval in section
Project 4 crvs onto the triangle the one in the front corner should be very short (circa 2mm). This is a very common trick in NURBS modeling, we often make a seemingly triangular shaped surf, by using a square, which has 3 visible bound and one very short one.
All proper surfs in Alias must have four boundaries
Once you have built this “triangular surf” you can transform it with the Proportional Modification Cont. to make it look like an injection moulding
Blend your teliscopic section onto the “triangle” at one end and the mirror head at the other
If you have got this far
Well Done You!
Now if your boss asks you to model a vehicle mirror, you’ll have a fair idea, as to where to start

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 5-7 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.
