i thought id set a design challenge for modeling this mixer tap, its quiet complex, i have 2 images showing top and side profile, i am currently working on modeling this, if any one wants to try modeling this as a challenge then you can do, and please post images of your work that would be great.

well, here's my attempt... I've done faucets before and this old style has it's challenges.. but, once you tweak/set the boundaries for the flow... it works out. (although my models boundaries do need more tweaking, SW2006 PW2)... biggrinsmiley.gif

Here's the file...

this is a basic modeling layout,... called,.. patch or boundary modeling.
You add profile curves to define the general shape, add the valve/inlet/outlet surface caps and then close the open boundaries in between.

...also a basic video showing the model.. (no audio).
