I am an Engineer who have interest and experience on CAD-CAM solutions. With my 15 years of experience I am trying to make for you best tips, tricks and tutorials.
I am confused about this object. It looks like it´s made of steel in the preview but then the feet look like it´s a plastic part. What is it ? okay I see you are making some ribs now, so it has to be plastic.
Like to say thank you very much for your effort and time of making all those videos. You have tutorials for many interesting models. This is the second project I'm working on from your channel. Please allow me to give you 2 advices. Firstly, when you sketch show relations all time not only when you click on entity. Secondly slow down a bit, I mean slow down a lot lol and in crucial moments take time explaining why you do this and not that. Many people coming to channel like yours are those who want to learn and may not be as fluent with surfacing as you are. It's very hard to learn if you are racing thru sketches and features. Otherwise those are awesome tutorials Not sure if I was missing something or there are incompatibilities between 2016 and 2024 version of Solidworks but I was stuck at 11:46 for a while. I've built that bottle from the beginning few times and no matter what I did that spline couldn't be offset. Maybe that was possible with 2016 Solidworks (as a glitch) but it can't be done with 2024 version. So, to resolve that issue I've changed geometry of sketch at 7:18 making it little bit bigger and was able to finish project. Just to let you know.
what is the weight of the file? I'm rolling on a long length, solidworks starts thinking for a long time, and the file size turns out to be insanely large (about 40 MB)
Thanks for the video, but one thing is not done right. The last edge chemfers you did does not work right after the part is flattened. The part needs to be manually unfolded, trimmed and chamfered, and again manually folded again in order to work. I do not know the tool names as my Solidworks is in German, but you get my point. Another point of criticism is unnecessery manual fixing the first part in the assembly. The first part of assembly is by default automatically placed in the origin and fixed afer confirmation. It saves a lot of unnecessery clicking and time.
Oh man, I finally enjoy your videos after you upgraded a microphone. Great model and improved presentation. Only advice would be to use some more usefull dimensions, so the part can be 3D printed without scaling. I increase all the measurements along the way. Thank you. I am looking forward to practice SW with some more, usefull designs.
Hi, friend. I subscribe to you on RU-vid. I really like your models. I myself work in the glass industry. I would like to ask you for help in building a model. I can send you a sample.
The onlly problem Im having with your videos is that the characters are too small to follow and need to repeat numerous time to watch and follow menu choices and reason for those choices, but, THANK YOU ANYWAY
How can we avoid offsetting a surface from an existing solid (4:58)? This creates a very unstable entity and if you modify the parent surface even slightly - all the features related to the offset might crash. Would the only way be creating the "styling" body as surfaces (so you can offset them afterwards) and then close them as body? This would definitely be the way in Catia but SW is very unstable when it comes to these tricks. Same thing at 8:32 - I would create a plane first, then tie the sketch to the plane so you can actually draw on the plane.
