Moving to 3D requires some neu' terminology. The SolidWorkssoftwarc employs many terms that yott n'ill become lamiliar rviththrough using the product. Many are terms that you u'il1 recognize fi'ot.t.tdesign and rnanulacturing such as cllts and bosses.

Al1 cuts, bosscs, planes and sketches that you create are consideredFeatures. Skctchecl 1'eatures are those based on skctches (boss and cut),and applied features are based on edges or faces (fillet).Plancs are flat and infinite. They are represented on the screen withvisible edges. They are used as the prirnary sketch surface fbr creatingboss and cut leatures.

Although there are many waysto create f-catures and shaPe thesolid, fbr this lesson, onlyr:rfmsions u'ill be discussed.An extrusion r'r'ill extend aprolile along a path typicallynorrnal to the profile plane fbrsome distance. The mol'ementalong that path becomes the solid model.

ln the SolidWorks system, the name r-rsed to describe l-- Rl0a 2D profile is skelt:h. Sketches are created on f-lat )f-aces and planes u'ithin the rnodel. They are generully ( \used as the basis lirr bosscs and cuts, althor-rgh they I -T--fcan exist inrlcpenclcntll t I l,l.liBos,ses are used lo add natcrial to the n.rodel. The critical initial t-eatureis alr'r,ays a boss. After the first 1'eature, you may add as many bosses asneeded to completc llie design. As rvith the base, all bosses be gin rvith asketch.

A Cttt is used to remove rnaterial ti'om the n.rodel. This is the oppositeofthe boss. Like the boss, cuts begin as 2D sketches and removernaterial by extrusion, revolution, or other methods you u'i1l learnabout.

Fillets and rounds are gcnerally added to the solid, not the sketch. Bynature ofthe faces adjacent to the selected edge, the system knowsrvhether to create a round (removing material) or a fillct (addingr.natcrial).Hor,v the model should be crcaled and changed, is considered the designintent. Rclationships betrvccn I'eatures and the scquence of theircreation all contribute to design intent.

Planes

Placement of theModel

Orient the Model forthe Drawing

"r"," "r,rtfilllrirlOnce the best plofile is detennined, the next step is to decide whichviov to use and select thc plane r,r'ith the same name fbr sketching it.The SolidWorks softu arc plovides three planes; they are describedbclou,.

There are three default planes, labeled Front Plane, Top Plane andRight Plane. Each plane is infinite, but has screen borders fbr vier,t,ingand selection. Also, each plar.re passes throLrgh the origin and ismutuaily perpendicr-rlar to the others.The planes can be renamed. In this course the names Front Ptane, TopPlane and Right Plane replace the defirult names respectively. Thisnaming convention is used in other CAD systems and is comfbrtable tomany users.

Although the planesare infinite, it may beeasier to think oltherras fbrmir.rg an openbox, connecting at theorigin. Using thisanalogy. tlrc inrrer

laces ofthe box are thepotential sketchplanes.

The part ivill be placed into the box three times. Each time the bestprofilc rvill contact or be parallel to one olthe three planes. Althoughthere are many combinations, the choices are limited to three fbr thisexercise.

There are several things to consider u'hen choosing the sketch plane.Tn'o are appearance and the part's orientation in an asscmbly. Thcappearance dictates how'the part il,ill bc oriented in standard vieu'ssnch as the Isometric. This also detennines hou'you u'ill spend mostolyour tirne looking at the model as you create it.The part's orientation in an assembly dictates how it is to be positionedu itlr respcct to olher. mctit)g pa11s.Another considcration r,i,hen deciding u,hich sketch plane to usc is howyou $'ant thc model to appear on the drawing rvhen you detail it. Youshould builcl the rnodel so that the Front view is the same as the Frontvieu' r,vill be in the final drar,ving. This saves time dr.rring the detailingproccss because you can use preclefined vicr,vs.

The Hole wizard is used to create specialized holes in a solid. It cancreate simple, tapered, counterbored and countersunk holes using a stepby step procedure. ln this example, the Hole Wizard will be ur"d tocreate a standard hole.

You can choose the face to insert the hole onto, deflne the hole,sdimensions and locate the hole using the Hole wizard. one of the mostintuitive aspects olthe Hore wizard is that you specify the size olthehole by the fbstener that goes into it.You can also place holes on pranes and non-pranar races. For example,you can create a hole on a cylindrical flace.The Hole Wizard creates shaped ho1es, such as countersunk andcounterbore types. The process creates tu,o sketches. one clefines theshape olthe hole. The other, a point, locates the center.The Hole Wizard requires a f-ace or sketch to be selected or pre_selected.

SolidWorks 2011

Dimensions can be created in drawing vielvs using several tools. Thesedimensions are not relateil to the dimensions generated in modelsketches and I'eatures. TheY are:

r Smart dimensioning - Uses the standard Smart Dimension toolto manually add dimensions like those in a sketch'

r DimXpert - Automates dimensioning by working from a datutnposition.

These dimensions are considered tobe driven dimensions. Drivendimensions always display the proper values but connot be used tochange the model.

By default, dimensions of this type are displayed dift-erentiy:

r They are displayed in a different color.r The vaiue is enclosed in parentheses (smart dimensioning)'The DimXpert Dimension Assist Tool assists in dimensioning a viewbased on the selection of a datum and model geometry' Options lorpolar, linear, baseline, and chain styles are available'
