sweet, gave it a go myself before watching and only screwed up on the point where the slope extrusion hits the tube, only the center was connected. nice video and excercise!
the two people who gave this a thumbs down must be married and are using MS Paint..great tutorial..glad that I'm picking this up much quicker than I anticipated!
I love using these videos to practice my skills, but if I was to guess why they gave thumbs down it would probably be because he didn't actually make an identical part to the drawing! The angled sections need to extend higher; they are not tangential to the 15mm radius fillets. Good tutorial still though.
This is a great tutorial but man, you REALLY need to be projecting previous geometry into your new sketches and properly constraining those sketches. I have only been using CAD for the last 3 weeks and even I know this. For a clearly functional part like this, most if not all sketches should be fully constrained.
There seems to be a Smiley Face at the top intersection between the gussets and the top surface. Is that appropriate? There might be less mental calculating if everything was centered on the origin.
In that situation, if you want the line to snap to the geometry, press p for project, select the geometry you want projected into your sketch, and then the edges will all snap perfectly. section analysis is usually used to view tolerances.
