After further reviewing my sketches, there are some design complications that I will have to address.
Firstly, the air intake system on the body side creates an impression on the doors. It is important that the side glass has enough room to drop into the door structure. This means I cannot add too aggressive indentations to the door's exterior surface, because it would push the interior trim inwards, cramping the occupants.
The side glass cut lines are not defined within the door profile. There are also no door cut lines. Fortunately, car doors are flush with the exterior surface, so door profiles will not change the final, 3D printed product. By contrast, side glass is slightly offset from the adjacent door surface, so cut lines are necessary to make changes to this surface.
A two dimensional model is not good at communicating the variation in depth along the vehicle surface, even with sketches from different views. I will have to wait for the 3D modeling to add more detail.
