Another great tutorial! The most interesting takeaway for me is seeing that you can fully define an arc with a known radius by making it end-point tangent to a defined horizontal line and specifying a horizontal dimension for the center...no vertical dimension needed. Cool!
That was a great tutorial, I first tried it myself with some more complicated sketches (e.g. I did not use the slot tool) and I ended up with 1590g. Then I followed your tutorial more closely and I realised that made a mistake when designing the slots manually. Changing the diameter from 6mm to radius of 6mm, I got the mass spot on! Many thanks!
Great job TTT! 👌 I like your explanation on how to model a part like this especially for beginners! 👍 Using Onshape, I think this part is appropriate for a main sketch driving most of the shape. Later you won't have to find which sketch is driving which feature of the part if a client request changes.
Yes but providing its only a change to a feature from that main sketch - but this whole exercise is copying a drawing, not creating by the original design intent which is probably more behind TTT original comment. The model might then be created with the main interfacing features of the parts function first created, then add the material in a change tolerant way to connect the functional parts of the model such that a fairly predictable design alteration can easily be accommodated to the model. However, future change prediction can be like crystal ball glazing - it depends greatly upon whether the design is original or just a size variation of an existing article.
1st time. 34min. In SW. I think I would be faster in Onshape but i'm trying to learn SW. I don't know if I agree this is a tier 5 because there are way more difficult challenges in my opinion but again great training.
@@kenhaley4 "difficulty" would be subjective. Complexity is based on a formula which factors in number of features required to "reasonably" complete the 3D model. So yes - "complexity" is objective. 😀
Great video and break down for planning the part. I can only image a Tier10 project part that includes a 'configurable' part that has 5 different states. im just getting into Configurations on OnShape. Takes Variables to the next level.

yes that is a very satisfying and VERY helpful workflow! Glad this was a gem for you!

Awesome - Glad this helped!
Love these practice videos Toby, thank you for making it a joy to learn this CAD system.
Awww yeah glad you're enjoying these ! And I love onshape!
I'm always losing my selection too. Also annoying is that mirror command defaults to part and doesn't remember that my last use was a feature mirror.
Yeah that took me some getting used to!
Man, you make is look so easy! 😂 great tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks

Aww yeah thanks Eric!
@@TooTallToby but that is contrary to your comments in the video. I am grateful for the video tutorial - useful to know.

Nice!! - Technically its tier 5 "complexity" not tier 5 "difficulty". This is because "difficulty" is in the eye of the beholder :-)
@@TooTallToby How is "complexity" determined? Sounds like it's a totally objective thing.

😀I made it.
awesome job!!
I cant select the face of sketch 3 at 8:54
Did it long time ago. Dragoș
Nice!

Thanks! yeah configurations in Onshape are indeed amazing!

Nice place to use the Thin Extrude Feature !
Thanks rich!
