Thank you for this video, I bought a 3D printer and just started learning how to work with CAD. Following this tutorial was extremely fun and gave me a first step feeling to join the CAD world!!
Thanks Jai, Thank you for making another fantastic training lesson. Precise translation in 3D relative to a curved surface is very tricky, and so you have to really plan yout our drawing approach . The clever part to this lesson is knowing how and where to relocate the UCS origin, then correctly orientate the X-Y plane. Finally, using the legacy polyline geometry of the semi-circle-rectangular segment and then translating it to the centre of the object is a master stroke.
Quite clear. Thank you. As a newer user, it helps to also see if you select the incorrect area or plane, what happens if you do, how to deselect or undo it, and then show the correct steps.
This is the best Autocad tutorial ever!!, very clear, great instructions, covers all the important tools & functions .. Only 22mins and i feel like i can make almost anything... Just need to learn curved surfaces eg hyperbolic curve shapes and im set .. thanks for sharing!
The best AutoCad teacher on the RU-vid if you ask me. Great well thought out lessons, structured and well explained. I always look forward to the next tutorial.
Jay, I am using ACAD 2018. I note that sometimes (yes sometimes not all times) when I do the final wedge section, the ""join"" function produces a spline and not polyline. I suspect there is something deep and subtle going on in my drawing. Are there techniques in ACAD to help solve these issues ?
First of all I'll like to give thanks and appreciations to your helpful videos, it really taught me a lot. This is not the first video of yours I watched, you are so good at it God bless you.
Hi friends, i am mano from CITD institute, actually it is best guidance to acquire the perfection in the field of AutoCAD design and i will give my whole hearted support thanks to upload these videos.
Been watcNice tutorialng your vids for a good few weeks now, learning new sNice tutorialt each day. my worksoftow has improved so much since watcNice tutorialng
Although I am using AutoCAD since 1998 however creating 3D modelling like Mechanical parts it is very easy to build in Solidworks software. To create above model in solidworks require maximum 5 minutes with real view rendering.
For some reason I cannot figure out, on the very last two steps. Where you extrude the strange shape 6 units in either direction. I extrude it, however it only gives me that shape, i.e. a hollow outline if you would. So rather than that nice solid extrude I get an extended outline. Any advice?
I see that the last geometry you created (the brace between the horizontal and vertical cylinders) is flush against the horizontal cylinder, but doesn't it just barely touch the vertical cylinder? Before you enter the values of -6 and 6, you can see how it pulls away. Granted, with only a thickness of 12, it looks very close, but isn't the actual area of intersection zero (since the width is zero)? I can see how we could have filled that in by including a rectangle the width of the vertical cylinder wall before we extruded it, but can we add that volume after we make the brace?
Excellent video Sir. For a long time I had a problem of finding a solution to the lines that we can’t trim. You have shown a solution. Thank you Sir. Mean time if you can tell the reason why we can’t trim it is highly appreciated.
can you make a video on how to shift the UCS? I was having a lot trouble to get my xyz plan in the right position. Thank you very much. You are doing a great job teaching us. Thank you again.
After making the final part, the rib, you need to extrude the right side of the rib slightly to the right, that is x-direction, and union it to the main part to get a strong joint. Otherwise, you get a line contact only between big vertical cylinder and the rib which will ultimately affect the strength of the product.
Good, It is good to refresh. The last step, you must take care when you select the top point to create the extrusion due to you will generate a gap when you apply thickness (if you take a superior view you will see)
Hello there, I have a question. How do you know that you should pull 2D geometry at the height of 14 units, when converting to 3D at 7:08?This height is not specified at the projection map, and one cannot simply calculate from other dimensions, or am I missing something?
I’ve been looking at the drawings trying to find out what combination of given measurements work to 14 units. The only thing I can think of (having never used cad) is the radius is given for the circle 14. That radius ‘looks’ the same length as the height of the base at 14 units. I would like an actual answer though and not me just eye balling it lol.
Nice Tutorial. As Student for automotive engineering I´m working with Catia. In Comparison with this Tutorial for AutoCAD I must say modelling mechanical components seems to be definitely easier and faster with Catia...
Hi there, I have tried to do the same design but I am struggling to do the welshed properly. It looks like a wedshedded mirror instead a solid part. Hope you can assist
When I did the presspull command @ 11:33 of the vid, I had to just enter 75 units, rather than -75. It seems as though the direction I run the cursor represents the positive direction regardless of which direction the Z axis is. (I hope I worded that in a way that makes sense). I'm using Autocad 2017 so I'm wondering whether that's something that's changed for Autocad 2017 or if one of my settings is different than yours? Thanks.
Old comment but for anyone who encounters it this was also the case for me using AutoCAD 2021. I was also thinking it could be a difference in settings.
Hii SourceCAD, Can you tell me how to create 3d using (i am using autocad2014) on 2d planes 3 views mode ? is there such a feature in autocad that allow use to create 3 2d drawing to form a 3d view ? for example, i am drawing on plan view, front view and side view, and i links every part of the item in all 3 views together (telling autocad this line of plan view is actually that line on front view.... so on ) , then autocad will generate a 3d model of the 3 views assembled item. is that possible by autocad2014 ? thanks. andrew
When you prepared a final rib and extruded by 6mm and then pulled by further 6mm, there will be gap at the end of the rib and the outer surface of the vertical cylinder on either side that need to be filled in. Just a thought.
I think you missed to mark the height of one of the rectangles on the drawing. It's 36 according to the video. Just saying to help those who want to model the part by themselves based on the drawing only.
That's right there is so many missing mark base on the image.. i think it will need a clear discussion base on the image.. but i appreciate the video...
I just wanna give you a huge thanks for you cause tNice tutorials is the most helpful video I've had in a wNice tutorialle and it really helped so keep up the
Good afternoon, have been following your instructions to reproduce the model , but at the point of inputting -75 based on z direction mine is going positive 75 , what do i do
Awesome video, I'm very grateful. I was able to complete the drawing, but I was not able to use the "Extrude" feature as you did. I ended up using the "Presspull" feature and it seems to have accomplished the same results. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
Excellent way of explaining sir its been very kind of you the autocad is so easy i never expecting before i watch you video. Pls keep it up i really want you to continue this in Urdu/Hindi. Regards
TNice tutorials was an amazing video! you really Nice tutorialt all the key points for the basics without ever over complicating anytNice tutorialng. A hard job and you did
Its a very helpful video.. thank u so much for that... 1 doubt, there is a small gap between the rib and cylindrical part(vertical one) as it has round shape... how to remove that gap?
great tutorial but, there is a problem; that truss you created at the end is tangent to the tall cylinder. This means that there is a gap on either side of that tangency. If the first line you drew in creating the truss had fallen short of the outside of the cylinder there would be no gap and then you could merge the truss with the cylinder. Still, a very good tutorial.
