Looking Good Toby, Pretty soon you'll be an Alibre expert.
Quick Tip: To make the tombstone sketches start with a Rectangle. Then place a center point arc at the center of one end line and finish it at the ends of the end line. Then convert the line to Reference geometry and apply dimensions.
Ohhhh that’s good! Thanks Harold!
7:15 To make the cut you could use Thin Wall Extrude Cut and set the cut entirely externally. This doesn't need closed sketch profiles. Greetings from SmoothSlug and go Toby!!
Oh nice I like that! Gonna try it thanks!
very good, I didn't know that. I always learn something new
Noting that it is Atom 3D Compatible was a great little addition. It was surreal to see a CAD Giant like you at 02:55 having the same screen up that I have at the start of my working day. That was cool man!!!
7:07 - he asked if there are any "Alibre wizards out there" with suggestions. That's your cue!
@@trebmaster lol, I answered in chat and Ty, the other Alibre wizzard, corrected me in the comments of the Monday Live video. Hmmm... I wonder... Are Ty and I the Blue Wizzards of TooTallToby's competitions..?
lol blue wizards indeed!
Just stumbled on your videos. Great coverage, will definitely help me out in my journey to learn 3d cad programs. Love that the channel covers many different programs.
Awe yeah! Welcome to the community! Join us for MML next week!!
Thank you Toby, I'm still on my free trail and alibre soon getting atom3D, so im new to CAD , following along really help me:)))
Great! I'll make some more alibre tutorials soon!
Thanks Toby, you are a legend ❤
Thanks Omega!
Nice tutorial Toby, Thanks a lot 🙏
My pleasure! 👍😊
Hi Toby! I really like your tutorials😍
Awesome thanks CADable!
Nice to get exposure to new apps. Installed Alibre Atom3D after seeing this video. The manual clicking of the trim command (instead of click and drag), along with the lack of a hole wizard in Atom3D made me drop it 2 days after starting a trial. I don't need any more disadvantages when doing practice models!
Hey @joshualebo6820, thanks for your comment. Atom3D is intended to be a perpetual license for hobby-level makers. The hole tool and many other time-savers are available in the professional license, which also allows for the customization of hotkeys for just about any function. Users have assigned their own hotkeys to use the trim feature quickly. Just as Google Sheets is designed to be highly accessible and simple, while Excel offers higher levels of features, the same is true for our licenses: Atom, Professional, and Expert. All are available on a perpetual license for much less than what others charge. Happy modeling, and thanks for watching Too Tall Toby.
Thanks for the response@@AlibreLLC . I understand the challenge - spent a chunk of my previous life at a software startup that eventually IPO'd. It's a constant battle to weigh sharing features in the community edition vs withholding them for enterprise customers. For functionality like creating CNC toolpaths, it's a no brainer. Sketch and feature tools are the gateway, at least they seem to be as I ramp up. It's interesting to see how vendors address this in the CAD space. Best of luck to you guys.
Thanks Alibre and Josh for the excellent discussion!
@@joshualebo6820 Thank you, and best of luck to you as well.
7:18 Probably could do a thin extrude? If you do the little arrow under the Cut Extrude, then do Thin Extrude.
ohhh - excellent suggestion! Will try that next time!
09:10 Is that an Easter Egg..? I'm pretty Excited!
:-)
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Toby I'am new to Alibre, actually just purchased the ATOM3D version and working my way through this video. Got to the part where you add the holes and noticed that no hole option is avalable , are you sure it is Atom3d compatible?
Oh snap - you are correct! You'll have to do those holes as 2 cut extrudes! Sorry about that :-)
