Thanks Steven. The Tutorial was one kind of reminder. Always good to see the differences once again.

[@nofarzeiden2287]

really clear & easy to understand! Thank you for the video!

[@harris.M]

Thanks, it was very helpful tutorial.

awesome, thank you very much!

Very nice presentation of a very interesting product. I will not let a tradesman into my house without one!

Really a nice tutorial. Learned a lot. Slightly improved commentary would help many...

[@123du5]

Very good mate, thank you. A better microphone would make it even better.

[@widianardi4147]

Thank you.

[@Shumayal]

Nice one but I wish you went into Guide Curves too while you were at it!

[@frankrodriguez2895]

I want to create some bent foil like tabs on an electrode any suggestions?

[@TenjinAerospace]

I have issues with this, it only selects one closed loop and I can't select the other one, i sketched similar shape as you have...any suggestions?

[@moniquewrites9046]

Can you guys do one on basic pool shapes with angles

[@xl000]

Good luck if you need something that is not provided by the tool ... Can you do stuff programmatically in SolidWorks, like add arbitrary attributes to points / objects and transfer them between them..

[@joshuaandree7609]

Looks easy enough

[@muhammadfahad847]

Which Screen Recording software you are using.

[@ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

Here is a question i had for about 9 years - when i do a 3d sketch. Why does a whole complex sketch turn overdefined when i add one dimension to a newly drawn line which has no other relations?
Same question for starting in a 2D sketch with a fully defined slot, which turns overdefined when i try to mirror or linear pattern it. Its underdefined and draggable at one point - I add one new 1D constraint and it all turns overdefined.

[@therealthreadkilla]

And you never got an answer 3 years later

[@ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

@@therealthreadkilla im guessing there are hidden relations which only work sometimes

[@capounosavage1795]

Good day Sir
I have got a very complex loft that I am not able to solve.
It is the cowling of my airplane that I am trying to make it new style.
Would you be able to give me a help?
Of course I could forward the sketch and guide curves.
It is very complex!
Thanks

a better microphone would be absolutely worth it for you

[@Quatuux]

English is not my native langage but I perfectly understood what he said so his microphone is perfect for me.

[@MrThuyavan]

courier me

[@freelectron2029]

@@Quatuux then you might have something wrong with your hearing

[@xl000]

@@freelectron2029 sampling rate is wrong
it's way too compressed.
Last time I heard something that bad was the first time I tried my sound blaster card in the 90's and experimented with the sampling rate to see how low I could go..

[@freelectron2029]

@@xl000 lol sound blaster card. thats a blast from the past. thanks for reminding me )

[@russelllayman4017]

Hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to make an aircraft wing. I have created the four sketches. I get an error that tells me the loft cannot be made because it would create self-intersecting geometry!

[@furyfury3552]

Hi dudes, i got an issue, i can't select close loop and it isn't highlighted, any suggestions ?

[@il.imstill3255]

thanx. it's pitty for such a sound

[@alrawahikhalood8893]

can anybody tell me how he make that feature at 20:09 .....thanks

[@piyushsharma5177]

Pretty late but its called surface sweep. Go into your surface tab and select sweep

[@jeanniellewellyn198]

Surface Sweep, selecting a group of parameters (curves)

[@rafaelcostamelo4799]

just ca off for a spliff to watch tNice tutorials then I'm back on boi

[@shinthantnyinyi4860]

Way to call out.... lol

[@MAGAMAN]

Did you swallow your microphone?
