    For every 100 Solidworks videos, there is 1 good one, with a person actually narrating, and a logically stepped video - this is one of those! Thanks!

    This is by far the Best Solidworks tutorial I have watched. You do know what it means to teach. Thank you very much indeed!

    Never understood the Boundry Surface direction 1 and direction 2 until now. Thanks for a great explanation.

    just came across this tutorial after 8 years, it's definitely outdated but still an amazing guide nonetheless. i wish you still made these amazing tutorials :

    So... Tools used: Line to create profile, "Surface-Extrude" to make your handle curve, "Reference Geometry Plane> Select 3 vertices" to make a plane touching 3 points, "Spline" to create the line profile needed, "Ruled Surface" to make a surface to align on all of the needed things, and then "Boundary Surface" to really make things work well.
    It's not 3 steps
    It's not super clear
    I'm going to figure this out because of this video, and make an awesome grip. Thanks for posting!

    for everyone asking how he manages to connect the ruled surface edge with the bottom outer profile, keep in mind that was using solidworks14. I'm doing a similar project close to this one but i couldnt get that darn outer profile to be selected. I watched another vid using solidworks8 and then it mentioned how if the "selection manager doesnt show, just right click and select it". Did just that and after making my two ruled surfaces (cuz it didnt connect as one like this video), I make an open group selection of my outer profile, clicked the check mark and wolla. it worked.

  • @imtoouncreative8263

    11:25 - Why do we not make these two direction 2 selections as curvature instead of tangent? Is it overkill for this purpose since it is not meant for aesthetic purposes? Would it slow down or break the model in some way?

    I know I am late on this GREAT technical topic, but when I execute the first step in the process and "Surface Extrude" the centerline I do not get the four sections defined by the vertices - I only get one continuous surface. Can anyone suggest why? Thank you for any feedback.

    At 7:00, I am attempting to create the boundary surface, however after selecting 1 edge of the ruled surface, when I click on my sketch it selects the whole sketch, not the one small segment like yours does. Also it twists over 180deg and I can't seem to untwist this anywhere. Please help! Amazing video I'm just stuck!

    Thanks for this great tutorial! One question, just for my own curiosity: at 3:50 , why did you not cut off directly the surface with that sketch? It with the extra split line it takes an extra feature.

    I am having troubles when using the "boundary surfaces" tool. The thing is I can't connect the 1st sketch with the line in the ruled surface since the sketch is not visible. (What he does in 7:20 approx.
    How is that fixed?

    • @MegaRetroRocket
      @MegaRetroRocket 7 років тому +1

      The purpose of the ruled surface is to use a surface EDGE as a selection, rather than a sketch. If you cannot select it, check your display filters to make sure they are visible.

    Thanks

  • @Francisco-j1e

    When i select a section of the sketch, it selects the whole thing when i use boundary surface! I made a split line and seems okay but it selects everything every single time i use boundary surface!

  • @Martinossful
    @Martinossful 4 роки тому

    1. You could just cut surface using the trip tool.
    2. You dont need to use rulled surface to make sure that created loft will be tangent. It is easier to check "normal to profile" option.
    Anyway very good tutorial :)

    Instead of split line and delete face, same result can be achieved by trim surface tool.

    I'm confused as all get out about the sketch! According to the feature tree it's a single 2D sketch. I'm seeing sketches on 2 or 3 different planes and possibly a 3D segment as well. Maybe if I could see it rotated to different views I could see it better, and not saying it couldn't be done but why would anyone do it on one plane, and how?

  • @gnagyusa

    Nice video, but it just shows how is insanely overcomplicated and redundant traditional CAD programs get when you have organic shapes.
    They really weren't meant for this, so this approach doesn't scale well to very complex designs.
    I just use Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces with wall thickness + boolean operations in EQUINOX-3D. The only place for parametric shapes is for spline-directed cutting shapes (snapped to the surfaces) and constraints (e.g. place screws along a spline, constrained to a surface).
    This is much more direct and more intuitive and you get solids in the end with adjustable resolution that can go straight to 3D printing or into a CAM app for toolpath generation.
    You also have a lot more freedom and rather than manually matching a reference surface you can just import any hand-built or 3D scanned polygon mesh and use it directly (usually, after some cleanup).
    Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's all integrated in a 3D modeling/rendering/animation software, so you can see photorealistic renderings of the part, in a complex environment and you can even control the robot with a plugin...
    All I have is organic shapes (mostly humanoid robot parts), so the old-fashioned "numerical CAD" approach is not much help any more, except for simple tooling/work holding parts.
    I need to blend complex organic and geometric shapes a lot and Catmull-Clark does it naturally, with any topology.
    A simple handle with some bevels is one thing, but doing something like the complex, blended parts for the skull of our robot it SolidWorks, would take forever and you would end up with a messy spaghetti of guide curves.

    You couldn't have made this easier to follow, and you explained everything so stupid people like me could catch on, but as far as solid works is concerned, this is a total fucking mess. This is way too labor intensive. This process could be simplified immensely, I hope they have some new stuff coming in 2020 that fixes this atrocity
