Live Training (web meeting) with TooTallToby!
In today's #power #move #solidworks #expert #tootalltoby shows us how to use the VARY SKETCH option to allow a pattern to update dynamically by following the guidance of a sketch.

Man I've been itching to watch this tutorial. Learned a couple new things today. You the man!
Awesome so glad this helped!
your are a amazing teacher of SW and excellent understanding on how to learn someone and i have myself been trying these tip and tricks keep up the great work your doing WELL DONE
Awesome thanks so much!
That vary sketch is life saver for me, thanks sir❤
Awesome. T, you don’t need to ask/remind us to hit like. For sure we will like. I like cuz I like
lol awesome thanks Keith!
Man you never fail to amaze me with your teaching skills 😮
Thanks I appreciate that!
THis is really cool! I love the way you explain what you are doing Toby. I am really hoping to sign up for some of your classes in the near future.
Awesome thanks Ross glad this helped!
Awesome. Learned something new!
Awe yeah that’s awesome!
Great explonation Toby
Thanks! 😃
It would be cool to see a challenge come through where the contestants have to speedrun a topology optimization of some kind
Yeah that would be cool!
Thanks!
Awwww man THANK YOU so much!! So glad these videos are helpful!
You are the G.O.A.T. in cad..I always learn from you
Thanks! So nice!👍
Love how solid the SW is.
Yeah this is a cool feature!
Thanks toby for the pierce teaching. I did the same in Onshape and was very frustrated as use/project did not work.
Yeah pierce is the way to go here! Glad this worked!!
freakin awesome!
Thanks! I love this feature!
Thinking I would skip over the intro to see the modeling and low and behold the 1:50 mark gets me with the Slot tool...... LOL Love the video
I love your way of teaching. ❤️
Thank you! 😃
I followed along as you went through the features, trying to replicate them in Fusion 360 :) There are no magic options for patterning. Very pro-level video, thank you!
Excellent! Love it👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍👍👍
Aww yeah!
Would be really interested in seeing how you would approach this model in Onshape. I managed to get it done but used a lot of repetition of Transform to place the bottom cross rods to to the top profile curve.
See my reply above,
Look for a public doc called: "TTT 24-WC-30-Soap Holder - Profile sweeper"
There's a tab using the "regular" sweep as well as the quicker "profile sweeper" Featurescript option, the trick is to include the sketch of the sweep profile as well as the sweep path in the pattern feature when using the built-in sweep feature.
I did the same.
Pierce and Linear Pattern are also available in Onshape
Watched the replay and have to say that was painful to watch!
I have to say the need to pick a dimension to enable "vary sketch" is very goofy in SW! While I like the interface SW uses for setting up the varying instances after the fact, I find Onshape's use of "Reapply features" a lot more predictable and it applies to "anything" included in the linear pattern.
So for this model in Onshape you just have to include the sweep profile sketch in the pattern and make sure "reapply features" is enabled and it works. If you use a Featurescript (like "profile sweeper" for example) that doesn't require drawing the circular profile (the "built-in" sweep feature doesn't have the option to create a profile). Then it's super easy and this parts just needs 5 features (and there is no weird angled profile issues either!)
t cubed good stuff
I tried to repeat the funny moment at 7:49 in different ways, but I couldn't; a circular profile every time is normal to path. What version of SW do you use?
Its just "SolidWorks being SolidWorks" - sometimes it works fine, sometimes it ends up skewed. It has to do with the order in which you create the lines and arcs, and whether or not you start them out connected in a loop or open.
I have a Question. Does working with Power Surfacing add in, make us lazy with surface modeling in solidWorks???
Yes you can, first make a reference sketch, then go to powersurface to do the pipe, after that you can do the pattern as Toby did
lol - I don’t think it will make you lazy - it’s always good to get access to some new tools!
Bro..make this part in Onshape.
one thing I am still not entirely sure of is when you need to use the pierce command and when coincident is good enough. I have had some features fail and when I change the coincident to a pierce it all works. It would be nice to know in advance exactly when it needs to be used instead of using at when you see it is an option to use.
Coincident will make your point coincident with a virtual projection of the geometry onto your sketch plane. Pierce locates your point at the precise place that the geometry penetrates the sketch plane, in 3D.
Pierce for 3d - coincident for 2d
LoL at the preview going the wrong way when set to "partial"... And the automatic profile not being set normal to the path. That's one of the reasons I don't miss SW!
