In this video I cover using the following functions and options within the boundary surface feature: Single direction, two direction, tangent influence, normal to profile, direction vector, connectors, surface analysis…
Sometimes when working on heavy models in Solidworks, it can be extremely slow using the selection manager to select a chain of edges when editing a boundary surface. A workaround…
In this video I cover one way of modelling a 'fillet to chamfer transition' in Solidworks using a variable fillet, delete face and a boundary surface. The setup is straight…
In this video I cover modelling the main form of the Rowenta EK55 hair dryer in Solidworks. I tried several approaches, before deciding that I needed to look at the…
I spotted the Ricoh Theta S a while ago and have been meaning to model the main form for a video. Turns out some areas were a bit trickier than…
This video is an update to an older exploration, using variables to control a form. I've updated the sections to use the G3 constraint in the sketcher and also used…
This is my first try at using the G3 constraint in Solidworks. The first half of the video went as I expected, looking at constraining a style spline and the…
Firstly, apologies for the audio! I squeezed this video in waiting for a late night video call…This challenge was sent to me by Jamie (thanks!) the top surface of the…
I spotted a drill design that had been posted recently on Core77 and thought the Y branch blend on the product would make a great modelling exercise. This video covers…
Now and then I check Solidworks surface output in Rhino as I have much more control over the evaluation mesh density in Rhino. In my previous video I imported a…
