Part
This tutorial required to generate a model with a hole within the centre. As this was my first use of soildworks, I did have some difficulty getting the hang of the problem. On viewing the model, it seemed to me to look like a camera. In comparison to constructing this in other software, doing the hole and model is easier say in Max, but this is easier for fillets.
Loft
This model is what I would describe as a hammerhead. The most difficult part of this model was the curving the tail of the hammer along with connecting the head with the tail. If I was compare this to max- modeling is the easy part, but bending the tail would be extremely hardier.
Revolves and Sweeps
I found this to be the model I enjoyed the most, the candlestick, despite still having problems and asking for help. I think this is what the program is built for and it really does show its full potential when doing the model. Given though this can be done in Max, it does take a little longer.
363 George St.
This solidworks model of 363 George Street was quite easy to achieve and to construct. The way I constructed this was by removing parts that aren’t necessary similar to that in the part tutorial.
How will I construct the cactus model? The first job I will need to do is measure everything in sketch up, by dimensioning every space available, heights, lengths and width etc.
Once I have all dimensions, the best way to construct the cactus model is to eliminate all the unnecessary parts of the model by elimination. If this doesn’t work, Plan B will be to start constructing the building from the beginning.
