Product Description
Written to Release 18, this in-depth guide helps make the creation of complex surface geometry more intuitive by leading the reader through practical examples of high curvature surface construction. It provides tips on how to deliver a manufacturable model that is modifiable for change and offers techniques for evaluating a design problem and determining the most appropriate technique(s) to use before modeling begins. Styling issues are outlined, such as highlight lines, lines of sight, and tangencies. This book is a valuable reference for casual or new users of Pro/SURFACE, as well as users looking to develop more effective surface modeling standards. (Keywords: Pro/ENGINEER)

 Inside ProSurface ??? humm... July 9, 2003

This book is well written but not meant for beginning users of ProE. The creation of surfaces requires the designer to create datum features which more advanced surfaces can be created with. The book dose a poor job discussing the creation of datum features. But if you are a intermediate level user of ProE it will not matter. The book is great for getting some valuable concepts from... However, you will not be able to do surfacing even if you master the concepts in the book because there are no menu picks in the book. The material is presented in a clear manner but the menu picks for some of the more advanced topics are 3-4 layers deep.. "so good luck finding them" FYI: You will still need the advice of an experienced Surfacing Designer. Just to find the menu picks.... There are few surfacing books on the market so I suggest you get what you can.. BUY THE BOOK...

If you expect to learn surfacing techniques in Pro-E
with help from this book - good luck! The examples are weak
at best and lack any step by step instruction. Save your money.

This is the best in depth treatment of surfacing in non-PTC literature. It is not a tutorial. It is very dense. Read it slowly and work examples as if they were tutorials. I think it's better time spent for the advanced user than in the ProE surfacing class.
Definately not worth the time or price. September 14, 1999

If you are already familiar with surfacing this may not be a bad book, but for someone trying to learn, the applications are very weak, and presume the user has more knowledge concerning the art of surfacing than a newcomer to this area of modeling could have.
Good Theory analysis. July 13, 1999

Disappointed because it lacked tutorials. The few examples that were in the book were not too easy to follow
