This is the third installment in my basic SolidWorks series, which mirrors a basic Rhino series taught at Otis College of Art & Design in the spring semester of 2010. For the beginning of the SolidWorks series, start here. For the Rhino series, start here.
This week we’ll be building the coffee carafe model from week 04 of the Rhino series, using three different methods. I’ll start with a relatively weak method, and move up to the best method.
The first video covers:
- free form deformation
Two more after the jump:
- filled surface method
- boundary surface method

One shortcut within Solidworks is that you can use a sketch to project a trim directly from the trim command without the additional curve or split line creation. From what I’ve seen that is different from other CAD systems.
