STRUGGLING with SURFACE Modeling? Maybe I can help... | SolidWorks Modeling Drone [Part 3]

This is Part 3 of the drone modeling series. If you miss part 2 check it out here: • WHY this is important....
In this video I go into how I use surface modeling to create the drone body. I cover how I use the boundary surface, trim surface, and fill surface in SolidWorks.
If you missed any of the previous videos please click the link to get caught up.

Thanks sir, this is by far the most educative tutorial i've watched since learning SolidWorks ! Great tips combined with great explanations. Thanks once more !!!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks glad it helped

[@V8PropaneBurner]

Thanks for a very clear demonstration of surfacing.

[@RathaSochenda]

Glad it help. Been awhile since I made a SW tutorial

[@andyfakeerjan9025]

Hey Man, Your Videos are really good, help me out a lot, thanks

[@RathaSochenda]

Glad they helped!

[@unblutiger2020]

Very Tanks for this Tutorial. I looking longtime for help with the singularity Point in the Front of the Model. Many people talk from this but have no good solution. Only your Way fix it !!👍

[@RathaSochenda]

Glad it help👍

Bro can u tell me how are you giving measurements for the spline arrow marks.why I am asking bcoz there is not dimensions for it in sketch picture.

[@RathaSochenda]

It’s been awhile. Let me look into it

[@hamzabenabderrazek2542]

how did you define a plan by clicking on the point i tried it didn t work did you do a convert entities to the sketch to get that ?

[@RathaSochenda]

At what timeline in the video?

[@hamzabenabderrazek2542]

@@RathaSochenda thank you i found it i afilter was activated that's why i couldn't select the point

[@sciencetechnology9731]

@@RathaSochenda i need your help please

[@sciencetechnology9731]

I need help please! My sketches are getting absorbed into the features, i tried to convert entities some edges but it still does not work

[@RathaSochenda]

Convert entities is only what I know. Not sure what your sketches are still getting absorb

[@sciencetechnology9731]

@@RathaSochenda bro, i want to learn more about about surface modeling, let me know if you do organise online training. I am ready to attend

[@RathaSochenda]

Unfortunately i just done have the time in creating tutorials for Solidworks or a class
