Idler Arm Part Model in SolidWorks

This video shows you how to efficiently model the Idler Arm part file by creating symmetry in the sketch and in the first feature by using the mid-plane End Condition to capture the design intent. This places the model axis on the origin with the front and right symmetry planes running through it. The strategy of creating Boss features before Cut features to prevent the possibility of later added boss features from violating cut geometry in the model is demonstrated as is the facility of using the roll back facility in the FeatureManager Design Tree to reorder features if required. Mouse Gestures and the Right Mouse Button menu are demonstrated throughout for efficient modelling with minimal mouse movement. You can use Mass Properties to check and compare the weight of your final part with that in the video as a good indicator that your model has been created in the correct manner.

Proud to say that I am his student. Good to learn so many techniques from him in a simple and efficient way. Thanks for this video.

Perfect and Professional! I have learnt a lot from you! Getting boss feature before cut! The mouse gesture! Subscribed!
