I struggled quite a while, trying to wrap... And your video saved my day! Huge thanks!
If only fusion 360 had a feature like this. It has an emboss command, but no command that can exclusively wrap a sketch around a curved surface. There are ways around it, but they are round about, using the tools in ways they weren’t intended.
I'm not sure if this will fix my problem or not, but it looks like it could. I have a cylinder object as the main part, and I need to affix a series of domed buttons around the outside of the cylinder. I've been scratching my head for a couple days on this one.
I've created the part and a button. I figured once I can get one button attached I could just use the pattern feature to get the rest of the buttons installed.
I am fairly new to 3D modeling. As a matter of fact I've owned solidworks for less than a week and I've never attempted to model before. So there is that.
Sometimes I feel software developers need to give their applications to people who haven't been doing this stuff for years and see how it goes. Something as simple as combining two parts to make an assembly should be this difficult.
thank you for such useful info in a concise manner
how to you make another part that fit this part perfectly? Thank you
Cavity feature. I'll make a video on how to use it. Stay tuned!
Dear GoEngineer, I never see that coming. I have solidwork book, but that's not on the book. Thank you for tutoring.
Thank you for watching!
can you wrap around a rectangular prism ?
Per the definition of the wrap command lets us know the wrap can only be applied to singular faces
You can choose between two methods to create a wrap feature.
The Analytical method wraps a sketch onto a planar or non-planar face. You can create a planar face from cylindrical, conical, or extruded models. You can also select a planar profile to add multiple, closed spline sketches.
The Spline Surface method wraps a sketch on any face type. A limitation with this method is that it cannot wrap around a model.
Thank you for this tutorial. But I have a problem to show the dimension of wrap feature in 2d drawing. U got any suggestion on that?
Wow this is amazing *.* I actually really needed this tutorial for what I'm building
Ronet M - thanks for posting. I read your reply to Jaswinder Singh Chopra
of 2-years ago. Really nice job, BTW. Giving you a 'thumbs up' on that. You told Jas that 2017 Wrap tool would work on any surface. In the video, you mentioned two surfaces: cylindrical and conical. Those are probably the most common, I suppose. A less regular surface might be a cube, pyramid shape, sphere or a shape like the classic hourglass form of a Coca Cola bottle. Could decent results be obtained on those surfaces?
If you were to used this feature to make a type of wheel cam is there a mate that can keep a follower on the surface? The cam mate doesn't work because its not just one surface.
How does one put that on a drawing? I have a pipe that i needed to be cut, the the cutters cant use the model i give them. Should i the just use the sketch i created my wrap with and pull that through to the drawing?

I have an older version of SolidWorks (10) and by watching yours and other UA-camrs video tutorials I've finally figured out how to use the wrap feature with good success. Lately I've been attempting to use the "Wrap" feature on a model that is more of a football shaped cylinder. I've gone through the same process to wrap my text around it but with each failed attempt I've gotten a popup message stating the this version of SolidWorks does not support the wrap feature onto a trapezoidal cylinder.
I'm trying to wrap the letter "C" onto this model so as to appear as fish scale texture on the surface. This wrapping process works like gang busters on all the other models I've tried this on. Can you give me a suggestions as to how to go about getting it to work on my football shaped model?
The wrap feature has been enhanced significantly since SolidWorks 2010. Several years ago it went from only supporting primitive wraps, cylinders, cones and such… To now include organic, BREP surface wraps as well as support for working across multiple faces.
The only solution in this case is to upgrade to a newer version.
Plz make a video for Generate plane with the ref. of all its method like PLANE,AXIS,POINT ,MATE
Thank you very much for posting this it is life saver!
Can I use this feature on a tappered cylindrical face
Hi Jaswinder,
The wrap feature in SolidWorks 2017 gives you the capability of adding material (Emboss), removing material (Deboss) and scribing on ANY SURFACE. It can do tapered cylinders very easily. All you have to do is select the tapered face/surface and define a thickness for the emboss or depth of the cut.
Fantastic
Thank you.
Thank you
Good morning, I need your help. I need to representate the unwrapped sketch in the drawing environment. How can I do it?
Hi SHM-ING,
When in your drawing, go to the Feature Tree on the left hand side, navigate to the view you want to show the sketch in, keep expanding the plus signs until you see the feature with the sketch you want to show. Right click on that sketch and click Show.
If it is already showing, navigate to the menu bar and go to View, Hide/Show, Sketches.
If you’ve already done the above and you were looking for another idea, try the convert entities approach shown in this UA-cam video: ua-cam.com/video/J6NOcjWDetk/v-deo.html.
literally saved my life. thank you.
is it possible to wrap the inside surface of the cylinder?
Hi Wan,
The wrap feature in SolidWorks 2017 gives you the capability of adding material (Emboss), removing material (Deboss) and scribing on ANY SURFACE. It can do tapered cylinders very easily. All you have to do is select the tapered face/surface and define a thickness for the emboss or depth of the cut.

I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. I'm trying to wrap a sketch, which is exactly the same length as the cylinder's diameter, but it keeps giving me the error "could not use any contours from sketch". If I make the sketch a tad shorter, it works, but still the sketch wouldn't be entirely around the cylinder. Any tips? Thanks a lot
The modeling kernel that SolidWorks uses goes out to 8 decimal places. You may need to make the sketch width the exact circumference out to 8 decimals to make it work like you wish.
I just ran a quick test of this and it seems to work provided I enter a precise enough value for the sketch width.
Anyone know how he ended up with the circumference formula at 1:01? Up until now I've used my calculator and just rounded up slightly to avoid having 30+ decimal places. Although this method works it's not the correct way to do it.
Hi Phillip,
When adding the dimension for the overall length, I typed "=pi*" then double clicked on the sketch for the boss extrude. This displays the dimensions of the sketch of the boss extrude. Then I clicked the diameter value from the dimensions completing the formula "=pi*diameter". This should give you the equation symbol along with the value of the circumference.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ronit
@@ronitmukherjee6225 Thanks Ronit, much appreciated.
thanks
Thank you so much for this, it helped me a lot!
Great! Thanks for the feedback.
I need to do this to cut triangular slots in that same type of hollow cylinder, got frustrated and now taking a break.. I noticed there is an equation for the bottom dimension of your sketch to be wrapped, that would be the circumference of the cylinder right? how is that done or can I just calculate it one time, or do I even need to be thinking about that. The slots are symmetrical and evenly spaced around the top.
Hi Brian,
That equation is calculating the circumference of the cylinder that i want to wrap the sketch around. While creating the dimension for that line segment, instead of typing a number, select the equal to symbol. This starts the equation. Circumference of the circle is (2*pi*R(radius)) or Pi*D(diameter). After the equal symbol type pi * (double click on your cylinder to show the diameter dimension and single click to select it). This makes your equation look like = pi*"D1@Sketch1". Hit the green check and you'll notice SolidWorks does the calculation for you and represents it with a sigma symbol in from of it. This equation can also be managed under Tools > Equations.
Cheers,
Ronit
@@ronitmukherjee6225 7 years later and this comment is still great. thanks
@@RolyMoes thank you. Happy to see this being helpful all these years.
short sweet and informative. Thank you.

Thanks! We appreciate the feedback. Be sure to subscribe for more great 3D CAD Design and 3D printing tutorials.
i would have done the fillets in the sketch rather than as a separate feature, less demanding on the computer that way. but still a great intro to this feature, thanks
lesson learned, thanx
Thanks for watching, heat flux!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for video.
sir how you add plane on this cylinder
Hi Rayan,
In order to use the wrap feature, we needed to make sure to create a reference plane tangent to the cylindrical surface. To create this plane, You'll go to Features > Reference Geometry > Plane. For your First reference you select the cylindrical face of the part and for your second reference, you'd select the right plane. SolidWorks logically knows that by making those two selections you are looking for a plane that is tangent to the cylindrical face and perpendicular to the right plane.
Cheers,
Ronit
thank you so much you helped me thank's
saving lives for 4 years XD
Well done! Thank you
Thank YOU for your comment.

You leap frogged over the most important step: "How to create a reference plane"!
Hi Robert,
This other video shows how you can create reference planes (ua-cam.com/video/9M_fm6bIcV0/v-deo.html).
He leap frogged over the entire video...
He just showed the way I would imagine, but it does not work for me
Holy sibilance batman! Good tutorial though.
