ok I need someone to talk me down off the ledge on this – I don’t really have a lot of use for a program like modo, (which I am learning as often as I can) unless I can import the file into a program like solidworks – and I was putting off buying ts [...]

New Rhino Tutorials?
Hey Adam, Any plans on new Rhino content for the New Year? Happy Holidays! Matt
Catia/Pattern/Law …?
Anyone ever been successful in creating a point pattern with law in Catia V5? Or have an idea how?
Simple newbie question driving me crazy…
Did the preferences for vertice/edges color change in 501? For awhile I’ve just worked around it but enough is enough. I’m bringing in reference images as backdrops and building around them. Yes, easy enough to change the image transparency but it still is hard sometimes to see the vertices and edges I’m editing. How can [...]
WIP: Hind Mi-24B
Two top-mounted turboshaft engines driving a mid-mounted 17.3 m five-blade main rotor. The body is heavily armored and can resist impacts from .50 caliber (12.7 mm) rounds from all angles. The cockpit is protected by ballistic-resistant windscreens and a titanium-armored tub. MODO TIME!
SolidWorks surfacing challenge
When I look at industrial objects, I’m occasionally reminded of a term one of my professors frequently used when referring to the genesis of various forms. He called it its ‘wasness’ — in other words, what was it before it became this, or what sort of geometry gave birth to this form? Recently I came [...]
Thickening unjoined faces (SolidWorks)
Adam, I don’t know why this happens at times, but I’ve got another case in which I can’t thicken a complex surface I’ve created because SW encounters an error when trying to offset it. But while the program won’t allow me to offset the entire composite surface, it will allow me to offset the individual [...]
SolidWorks Kit question
Adam, as you already know, I’ve been using the SolidWorks Kit to bring models into Modo to render them. I’ve discovered that some of the material designations available in SW are really quite good, so there’s no need to apply new materials once I bring the model into Modo. Since I prefer to bring them [...]
Surface appearance in Modo
Hi Adam, after giving you a couple of weeks of peace, I’m back to bother you again for some advice. J What I’ve done here is just a fun project for me, so don’t feel compelled to create a tutorial video just for this. I plan to do quite a bit of experimenting on my [...]
Solidworks Question
I’m trying to model an iPad case and have the final model in both an open and closed position. I’ve modeled it flat, but now cant seem to have it shown closed for a render. Any suggestions? I tried to use the flex command and didn’t get good result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What’s new in SW 2012?
My SolidWorks VAR continues to pester me about upgrading to version 12, which I’ve been reluctant to do until I find out more about it. I didn’t think the improvements in version 11 were worth the upgrade price, so I’ve stuck with version 10, which I’m quite happy with, aside from some unpredictability when using [...]
Knife Project
Thank you Mr Adam for the quick response. It helped me really a lot. Actually i have to get my drawing on Solidworks but i don’t know how to draw it and how to extruded it. But it’s a folding knife with 2 blades on each sides, lock from inside or outside, doesn’t matter really [...]
