that's just something solidworks does when you have "invalid" sketch geometry. That sketch would be "no good" in the old days, before we had tools like CONTOUR SELECTION and SELECTION MANAGER. But now its ok to have sketches like that.
comeing from a guy that is a product eng. for a pipe fitting company that work with models everyday this is not how the industy does things "sweeps" they are all done with revolves... mostly because in the pipe world you have to stay within ASTM specs and it has dims that change the i.d. through out the fittings
There are moments where Solidworks can save a lot of time. I didn't know about the circular sweep option without a sketch. Probably because I was using SW2015 in my previous employment. I did this part in Alibre, with a slightly different approach. Even though it's not obvious at first, the part has its own symmetry to a degree :) and 'delete face' command is our best friend in hard times hahaha :) ua-cam.com/video/IW85GMLhNCE/v-deo.html
I can't make the copy multiple features work, i have tried every step exactly as shown in the video. After i click on "dangle" i get the typical error/warning window and it only copies the first extrude feature. I fix the sketch but the other 2 features weren't copied.
Great question! The inside bend radius is 75mm. The Pipe Dia is 60mm. The sweep is created to the CENTERLINE of the pipe (not the inside bend radius). So to find the centerline we take 75 + (D/2) = 75+30 = 105 Hope this helps!
That was exactly how I built mine except for the beginning, middle and end! Great tutorial, thanks.
lolololol - epic comment!
Cada vídeo tu surpreende ainda mais!
Obrigado Ricardo!
This lecture is very well sir
Thanks!
So nice this tutorial sir
thank you!
Amazing video, I didn't know one could shell solid cylinders to pipes... I really learnt a lot of new moves on this one
Thanks! Thanks Paul!
Power moves and rapid sketching, model is spot on, masterful! One day I will do that without backtracking! Real nice, Toby!
Awesome thanks so much and glad this helped!
Would love to see an Onshape tutorial for this one.
Thank you so much for the video. Didn't think to shell the pipes. I was dummy ! What version of solidworks are you using ? Dragos
2020 SP5 - Thanks Dragos!
Learned new tricks thanks toby
Nice! Glad this helped!
at 3:57 why is one line thinner than the rest?

Good to know! Thanks for the feedback

Lol I love the DELETE FACE command! Nice job Ty thanks for sharing the video!

well, i made a new file from scratch and it worked, weird.
Awesome! Glad its working now!
That 4th one was new for me. Thanks Toby. You're my hero. This is how I went about it initially. ua-cam.com/users/shorts5vDZjsNN_cY
Awesome glad this helped!
Why your diam is 105, radius of 75 is 150 diam
Great question! The inside bend radius is 75mm. The Pipe Dia is 60mm. The sweep is created to the CENTERLINE of the pipe (not the inside bend radius).
So to find the centerline we take 75 + (D/2) = 75+30 = 105
Hope this helps!
