Welcome to the Bluesmith Training site.
All the tutorials you see here are available directly from Autodesk, but have been brought together here to create a centralised resource.

Alias Golden Rules
- 1- Single-Span = Smooth Curves/Surfaces
- 2 - NURBS = Four-sided Surfaces
- 3 - Create a Good 'Flow' of CVs

- 6 - Build to Theoretical edges
- 7 - Set Construction Tolerances at the start
- 8 - Ensure Tangency across a Centre-Line
- 9 - Avoid building from trimmed edges
