Hybrid modeling bridges the gap between wireframes, surfaces, and solid bodies. In the Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench, you build wireframe skeletons (points, lines, splines) and skin them with surfaces. In the Part Design workbench, you convert those hollow surface skins into closed, manufacturable solid bodies. Hybrid design allows these environments to communicate seamlessly. Surface Patching This tutorial textbook is an essential companion to
The book's primary innovation is its focus on , a technique that combines different modeling environments seamlessly. In the Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench, you
: Instead of keeping surfaces and solids in separate containers (Geometrical Sets vs. PartBodies), hybrid modeling allows for a more fluid interaction between different geometry types.
