Hi, thanks for the post! Though , I am facing a problem here with 7. Sketch two curve line using 3D sketch tool, as shown. Could you elaborate it , if possible how to get curves done? Especially the outer one… Just cant get it myself… If there might be any chance, indeed. And thanks!

Hi, Zack, thanks, I’ll appreciate tips on those curves, indeed, I have some guys around, who seems to be bit more experienced with SolidWorks, but non of them could really fix me on this. Thanks!

Hi zack I’m also stuck in 7. Please help thanks

Hey Zack….yes, a response on number 7 would be great…a few more details on 3D sketches…

Hi Zack, I am stuck on 7 too. Pleas help! Thanks for making these tutorials. They really help!

Hi Zack, I am also stuck on step 7. Please update this tutorial for all requests.

Hey, On step 7, you create two splines (with 3D sketch tool) as shown, so you should have two straight lines. Then you select the point below of one of the spline and the line of the extrude number 3, then you add a tangent. You do it again with the other spline. Next go to step 8. I hope it helped.

I cant do #6. What angle is the .08in line at? and where is the horizontal line below that located?
10.
Zack May 6th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
0.08 is not a line, it the center distance between two curves.
11.
Adam May 14th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Hi, on step number 7 i do what you say, but the lines look nothing like your picture, and could you post a picture of the loft box options/what to put where
12.
Christopher June 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I’m also stuck on step #6, unfortunately I wasn’t able to locate the center of the curves, there wasn’t a horizontal line indicating the center of it, only a vertical one.
13.
Christopher June 12th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
The step number 7 also looks kinda complicated for me !
14.
Peter July 1st, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Stuck on #7 I need more detail from you. How do you make the spline attach sketch 5 and Extrude 3? I can only make a spline on one plane, how do I connect them? If you don’t mind doing a step by step on #7, that would be great. Thanks
15.
Peter July 1st, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Actually never mind, I got it. Before you insert new sketch, hit the dropdown on the sketch icon and chose 3D sketch. Then you can sketch in all dimensions. Whew! 4 hours wasted to find a simple solution. Thanks.

JeamBeam July 22nd, 2009 at 8:59 am
I’ve already sketched the two line at step7 but I can not apply ‘lofted boss/base’ on these lines. It doesn’t work. Need help… Tutorials should be clear to understand and realize. Thanks.

Same here with christopher, the center of the circle is not specified. im wondering how everybody can stuck on 7 and pass step6. zack, please help. -Nhoel of http://keywordspeak.com

Nhoel November 14th, 2009 at 2:45 am
@ jdm & christopher i had figured out step6 ! just draw a circle with that radius and drag the center along the horizontal line below 0.67, then the edge of the circle must be position at the intersection of the inner/small circle’s circumference and the horizontal line (going to the right) from the mid center. hope i said it comprehensively, thanks. -Nhoel of http://keywordspeak.com

Tony December 3rd, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Yea as everyone else stated you cannot create step 6 the way you have shown. If you draw the part using the method you’ve shown you will over dimension the part on step 6. The arc cannot have those two tangent points and have a .62 radius. Sorry its simply impossible. Im sorry Nhoel but that is not the correct method either. All your ’snapping’ to when you drag across the horizontal line is the end point of the inner extruded cylinder.
21.
Dario December 27th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Ok Ok people focus, we are trying to find the solution here. Zack two questions In step 7 : Did you use the splines to join those point? And the you use the tangent to add some curvature? In step 8: It says that we have as guide curves sketch3d1 and sketch3D2 , and we only used one sketch3D in according step 7. So how we are supposed yo do it thanks

Nhoel February 21st, 2010 at 9:12 am
Peace sign to you Tony. But have you tried what I have said? It’s logically correct I believe. I’ve finish the model. Anyone wants to confirm? zack? -Nhoel of http://www.keywordspeak.com

Dante March 18th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Even I’m stuck on step 6… can anyone please help me?..
28.
percy April 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 am
to get the 3d sketch feature you must first exit sketch, on the sketch tab. Then click on the drop down tab and select 3d sketch. A spline is used in this drawing

kai April 17th, 2010 at 8:48 am
i really need details in step 8, actually i don’t know how to use it

uuhh…. toaster strudel!
slick June 14th, 2010 at 9:55 am
On step 6, what i did was everything except the “0.67″ dimension, to make it a driven dimension. Also the ends of the two arcs have to be closed, the center point for these arcs have to be connected by a construction line (0.08) and that line has to be perpendicular to the 30degree construction line shown… On step 7, he doesnt show dimenions for the spline, but you can clearly see on his picture that the splines have three points… so you can either click anywhere for that middle point and move it around until you like what you see; or you can do what post #8 says, and make a two point spline, and then make the plines tangent to the extrusion line on Step#3 (0.60)

Kenny July 12th, 2010 at 3:41 am
I got stuck on # 3. How did you sketch fin radius R 1.05 and R. 1.03 and extrude them to 0.6 in.? I sketch two centerpoint arcs with R1.05 and R1.03 on top plane and tried to extrude the two arcs, but it doesn’t work. Srry im a beginner of this software.
33.
Bob July 18th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Step No. 6 makes no sense what so ever, did anybody actually complete this step? My question is where do you draw the 2 circles (R0.62) from? There doesn’t seem to be a particular starting point. Very frustrating!
34.
Thimal July 27th, 2010 at 11:30 am
If anyone is still having trouble, I have also figured it out. For step 6, the line joining the two curve centers (.08 in apart) is perpendicular to the 30 degree axis. This way, you do not need a horizontal dimension for the center of the curve. For step 7, do exactly what Jonathan said. Exit sketch, create a 3D sketch, and connect splines from the tops of Sketch 5 to the tops of Extrude 3. They should both appear as black lines for now. Then, use Add Relation to make each spline tangent to the top curve of Extrude 3 (radius 1.05 in). Then use the Loft feature and Circular Pattern as shown. Voila! Also I believe Zack added a chamfer to the middle circular boss, guess you forgot to mention it. Good tutorial, highly enjoyable, but could use a bit more description for the trickier parts such as those mentioned above. Thanks!
