Cisco provided all styling direction, but the team working on this series was not 3D proficient. They hired the consulting group I was with, Engineers USA, to help out. After some initial work Engineers USA was sold to a company that didn't want to support the consulting group. I finished this for Cisco as an in independent contractor.
The CAD software at Cisco was Pro/Engineer. These facia were tricky to model requiring a merge of the outer structure to the inner grille modeled separately. There were numerous permutations to make it interesting.
