As a beginner learning CAD just for the fun of 3D printing models I've made, this video is INSANELY valuable. I don't want to sit on a 2 hour deep dive. I just need to be a fly on the wall to watch someone solve some common spatial problems. This is exactly it. Thank you for this amazing video, I just subbed and hope to see more!
I normally don't comment on videos but I've been using OnShape for several years now as a hobbyist and you did at least 3 things in this video that blew my mind as I had no idea those quality of life features were there in the software. Just those 3 things will save me a ton of time and frustration doing it the tedious way (ie, sketches that I apparently don't need, switching between lines and curves, ...). Thanks a ton!!!
At 9:00 I skipped mathing thing at all. Just edit first sketch and add outer dimension construction lines. Use them for extrude distance. Giving you more control with first sketch as well
Wow I finally got one right! I couldn't remove the faces in steps 6 and 7 for some reason. Not sure what I did wrong so had to come at it a different way.
Always useful for users to see alternative approaches to modelling and benchmark their performance to others. I followed the Onshape VS Solidworks competition on this part. Without the stopwatch in another program I use, my first times were around 13 minutes - quite poor... but after practicing, practicing and much more practicing my last 3 runs were 5:22, 5:26 and 5:38. The actual winning time of the official comp was around 6:30 in the stress of battle and without prior practice, I doubt if I could match that time. But is there really a need to model from prints? I can understand better acquaintance with sketching methods, which is important and FUN but why the emphasis on copying prints - can anyone enlighten me please - Thanks!
I am following the video but when I want to define the last angle for the line that is tangent to the circle I get this error: "A dimension cannot be added between a curve and one of its points." If anyone can help it would be amazing!
Try this: 1. Enter the sketch 2. Choose USE on the sketching toolbar 3. Choose the circle from the model 4. Exit the USE command Then try adding the tangent relationship If that doesnt work - try hitting up the DISCORD - you can drop images a little easier in there (in the #practice-models channel)
You lost me when you dimensioned the total width of the part (127mm) before you mirrored it, I tried multiple times but couldn’t recreate that step. You’re obviously a talented guy but you move too fast for my skill level. Otherwise thanks for a great video.
hello - thanks very much for the kind words - Here's a playlist where I start with TIER 1 level challenge and work may way into the more difficult stuff: ua-cam.com/play/PLzMIhOgu1Y5dY8DD5vnOPJ0a3d8F2TWHe.html Take a look and LMK if that works better for you!

Awesome very glad that you’re enjoying this content! Are you learning Onshape?
@@TooTallToby Yep!

Awesome! So glad these are helpful and stay tuned - we got a lot of good stuff coming!!
@@TooTallToby I'll be on the lookout! Thanks!

Oh man that is BRILLIANT! Thanks!

Well done - Delete face is definately a good tool to learn!
Thank you !!!
Awww yeah!
Nice. I learned a lot form this. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
Great job again TTT! 👏
Thanks Eric!

Awww yeah! Glad this helps!
I did mid plane Boss Extrude 140 mm then extrude cut Rectangle 80X 80 through all, upward. Dragos
Very nice!

@@TooTallToby Thank you for the reply! I managed to get the angle to work! Finished the model and it looks great! Thank you for this tutorial!
1300.18g in 25min to solve and 5min to troubleshoot :D, i made it way more complicated that it needed to be
lol - I often make things way to complicated too. :-) Nice job solving it!
ahh, i love being a nerd. We have the best challenges

SORY 1300.18g
Very nice!
Hi TTT cousin TODD
lol - nice reference! TODD is so cool and buff!
1303.5G
I saw your correction! nice job!
Huge thanks for the tutorial, just finished it! This time the moment of removing the faces felt like magic 🪄
Awww yeah that's awesome Anton! YEs indeed Delete face and heal is TRUE MAGIC!!
