Thank you Mr Martin! Love your clean, concise, informative tutorials! So basically, the best creation method is Merged Solid. Almost completely satisfies form & fit at minimal overdetail. Lv1 gets the basic job done, but Lv10 includes small items even washers. Surface Subset is a close second, but with extra callouts (some overdetail) in the Model Tree. Whereas, Faceted Solid is practically useless. Looks like a blob even at high Lv.
I always shy away from declaring anything the “best.” It depends on the application. For 3D printing or protecting intellectual property, Faceted Solid has definite advantages. If you just think in terms of “this method is always best,” you might miss out on a better choice in certain situations. This is the lesson of Design Intent.
Are you using a student version perhaps? And it's File > Save As > Save a Copy and then you choose Shrinkwrap from the Type drop-down list. I think I did that video in Creo Parametric 3.0 but the command location has been the same since Wildfire 1.0 or earlier.

Thanks... a Perfect and brief refresher for me!!
Happy to hear it was helpful
Thank you, I was pulling my hair out at work right now, lol.
Glad to hear the channel is doing what it was intended for, to help people and solve problems.
Super useful! is there a way to make a shrinkwrap of internal parts as well? Was looking to make a single part of all surfaces from my assembly
Sure. Don’t exclude any components.
What version of Creo is this? When I do File/save as, shrinkwrap is NOT one of the options I see in Creo 4.

@@CADPLMGuy That's CREO 3, I have the same version.
How can I open a Creo Shrink-wrap file with sw extension? Any 3rd party software to view these files
Creo shrinkwrap files have a regular .prt extension, not .sw. But there are no third party viewers to open Creo files.
Hi sir,
In creo how to shrinkwrap the cable and wires...?
I try to make a different way but I can't create... please help me...
