Fantastic size and color pointer/cursor and icon size is perfect. You explain at a very nice speed and clearly. Watch this video on RU-vid and you will notice some problems. The multi colored background make it near impossible to see the constrains and sizes. The constrains and sizes in red is not a good color. If you make the background in one color like close to white and the constrains and sizes in black it would all be clear and readable. Even the sketch lines in black is so much more clearly and visible. Thanks for some of the best videos on RU-vid. Very educational........
I want to say thank you for this video that really good example of simplicity in how to use shape blinder ! And beleve me I'have been watching a lot of them without realy understand the main function ! :) Thumb up and subscribe !
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't figure out the UI. I had to click the "object" button then the object in the sketch. Also I had to click the "geometry" button THEN the single line in the sketch. (and only 1 line per button press)! THANK YOU! Man they need to stop adding features and fix the GUI and the topo naming problem! Did I say THANK YOU? !!!!!!
A great video showing basic usage of shape binder. There was one thing I did not understand. Why did you use the external geometry? I was thinking shape binder did that mapping for you. It seems that shape binder does not provide the edges so that you could reference to fully constrain the sketch. Furthermore if you do use external geometry, you could convert the two lines to construction mode since the padding is relative to the shape binder.
Thanks for your comment.... Please watch my second tutorial (Link given below). You are right... method I used did not provide me with lines to create a sketch/constraint. In this case it was not necessary. But in my second tutorial I have to create a sketch, so I used edge linker and then created the sketch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZIAvb7o4Z80.html
You need to build sketch a from the shapebinder lid. And this sketch needs to have relationship with shapebinder. So when the box dimensions change lid will change with the same offset(gap). It is hard to explain w/o a picture. Give it a try. I might create a quick video on this....
There is subtle differences. First, Blue one called Shapebinder. Green one is called Binder in V19. Main difference I see is you cannot attach a sketch to the Binder where as Shapebinder can have sketch attached to it.
Hello … yes, that is understandable. I would recommend modifying the shape binder with a sketch. Then you modify the sketch with clearance. Let me know if this is not clear and I will create quick tutorial…
@@cadzis673 Thanks for the kind reply. Yes, for inner area, we have to use sub-shape binder and create a sketch over it with 0.4mm clearance. And outer area can be used directly by a shape binder. Just did the exercise. I've been using sub-shape binder only but knowing how i could use a shape binder is a good thing to know. e.g. in this case, i used a shape binder for quickly making an object.
If I pad a shape binder, how can I add pockets? I can't put the sketch's pockets in the shape binder because they are around holes (counter sinks), and would break faces. Also, they would be padded instead of pockets.
I figured it out. I just made ANOTHER shape binder but only of the pocketed geometry. Then I used the body's pocket shape button. (This was a little different than your great tutorial because all the geometry was in a single sketch so I could see everything while I edited the single sketch. Is there anyway to see other sketches in the background while working on another sketch?)
You can attach a sketch to shapebinder. My video shows how to attach a sketch to shapebinder. Hope this answer your question... If not give me more details of your problem.
@@TheRainHarvester Yes, you can work on one sketch but other sketches if they are in same plane or parallel plane , you could make them visible by just picking these sketches in the treeview and pressing "space bar" key
Yes... This tutorial is just to demonstrate the shapebinder... You should be aware of topological issue in freecad when you build models. I have touched this subject in some of my tutorials.
