I thought this sort of thing was difficult to do in SW. Are you using a plugin? In any case, very clean lines!

Hi Mihai,

Indeed, in SolidWorks it can be diffecult to model organic shapes, but it is possible.
In this model I only used lofted surfaces, not starting with solid modelling but just sketshes in 2d and 3d space. no plug ins used.
In the end I joined the closed lofted surfaces into a single solid object ( for the different parts )
My plan is to finish this mouse into a working mouse using a Lochitec mouse for the working parts and give it to my son who will use it for his most favorite building game Minecraft :-)

I don't thunk it's difficult, it's just a misconception. Especially from Alias modellers.
