If not, are there any suggestions as to where I can find more of those tutorials?"]]> http://cadjunkie.com/7239/general-question-about-solidworks-tutorials/feed 3 http://cadjunkie.com/5444/sw-guitar-08-surfaces-ii http://cadjunkie.com/5444/sw-guitar-08-surfaces-ii#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:00:47 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5444 We have just a couple more adjustments to make to our master model. Once we get these guys done, it will make it easier to make the final cuts with the additional surfaces we'll be adding. Keep those learning caps on ladies and gentlemen, we're almost there!]]> http://cadjunkie.com/5444/sw-guitar-08-surfaces-ii/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/5442/sw-guitar-07-surfaces-i http://cadjunkie.com/5442/sw-guitar-07-surfaces-i#comments Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:30:10 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5442 Today we'll begin digging deeper into the master model we've been developing the past 6 videos. Starting with the body, we'll begin to add surfaces by utilizing the existing geometry that we set up previously. Buckle your seat belts, this is going to go quick!]]> http://cadjunkie.com/5442/sw-guitar-07-surfaces-i/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/5419/sw-guitar-06-fretboard-profile-ii http://cadjunkie.com/5419/sw-guitar-06-fretboard-profile-ii#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:30:20 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5419 Pop those champagne corks ladies and gentlemen, this is a time for celebration! This video concludes the first section of our Classical Guitar Series. Next we'll be using the future-proof framework we've been building and bring this bad boy to life. Hope you brought your earplugs, it's going to get loud soon!]]> http://cadjunkie.com/5419/sw-guitar-06-fretboard-profile-ii/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/5356/sw-guitar-05-fretboard-profile http://cadjunkie.com/5356/sw-guitar-05-fretboard-profile#comments Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:10:54 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5356 Okay kids, you've been hanging in there this long. Just one more sketch before we start pumping up the 3D-element factor. In this first part of a two-part tutorial, we'll be finalizing our fretboard and sealin' the deal for our next phase of the project. ]]> http://cadjunkie.com/5356/sw-guitar-05-fretboard-profile/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/5233/qa-equations-in-solidworks http://cadjunkie.com/5233/qa-equations-in-solidworks#comments Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:59:01 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5233 In this quick video we'll be taking a look at Expressions in NX and SolidWorks 2012's Equation Editor, which are very similar to say the least!

Using geometry we created in NX in our last Q and A, we'll be looking at comp curves and how to create smooth surfacing similar to what we achieved in NX.]]> http://cadjunkie.com/5228/qa-3d-splines-in-solidworks-2-videos/feed 2 http://cadjunkie.com/5239/qa-advanced-patterns-in-solidworks-2-videos http://cadjunkie.com/5239/qa-advanced-patterns-in-solidworks-2-videos#comments Wed, 26 Oct 2011 13:34:42 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5239 http://cadjunkie.com/5239/qa-advanced-patterns-in-solidworks-2-videos/feed 7 http://cadjunkie.com/5137/sw-guitar-04-fretboard-design-table http://cadjunkie.com/5137/sw-guitar-04-fretboard-design-table#comments Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:00:42 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=5137 Now that we have our profile sketches in place, we'll start adding some details to this bad boy.

Today we'll use symmetry planes to accurately setup the measurements that drive the whole model. Trust me, by taking these steps now will majorly make your day when it comes time to fine-tune the dims!

I'm here at the SW 2012 press release, gettin' inspired, connected, and all that jazz. The production pipeline is officially back on line, baby! We've got new SolidWorks, modo, and Rhino vids on the way in the next week or two, but while I was doing some prep work for the upcoming SolidWorks series I decided to record a bit of Sketchbook Designer along the way. Have fun, more soon!]]> http://cadjunkie.com/4785/solidworks-to-modo-guitar-tutorial-preview/feed 4 http://cadjunkie.com/3390/sweep-from-midplane-in-solidworks http://cadjunkie.com/3390/sweep-from-midplane-in-solidworks#comments Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:43:11 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=3390 a really great tip for double-sided sweeps on SolidSmack last week, and it got us thinking about other ways of achieving the same thing. First we'll take a look at Josh's clever Selection Manager method, and then we'll look at a simpler way (one simple feature!). ]]> http://cadjunkie.com/3390/sweep-from-midplane-in-solidworks/feed 0 http://cadjunkie.com/3005/bike-frame-part-1-solidworks-surfacing http://cadjunkie.com/3005/bike-frame-part-1-solidworks-surfacing#comments Tue, 05 Jul 2011 20:48:52 +0000 adam http://cadjunkie.com/?p=3005 http://cadjunkie.com/3005/bike-frame-part-1-solidworks-surfacing/feed 5
