I come back to this tutorial probably every couple years to not get rusty and remind myself that surfaces in solidworks are not as terrible as everybody and their mother tells me they are. I mostly use plain solid parametric design as a mold designer and the only surfaces i use day to day are boring patches for mold forms or occasionally i need to patch holes in customer models so they work with the cavity feature. It is still the same blast to follow and design along each time as it was the first time. I wish every tutorial was this casual and fun to follow. Thank you for this gem of a tutorial!
@@designwarp9117 dont get discouraged, keep at it, its good as an engineer to know a 3d program even if you wont use it in your career, but you never know!
This is honestly the best SW tutorial I have ever seen. I use SW all the time as a designer but found this truly helpful, greatly explained!! thank you!
19:08 I’ve been struggling quite a bit with surfacing edge management for smooth boundary surface creation and this tiny clip about using a new 3D sketch rather than the existing surface edge has helped me SO MUCH. Thank you!
Something I thought is impossible for me to do in one day you did in 30 minutes. You make it look ease. Please don't stop doing more tutorials. Thanks. Liked and Subscribed.
What a great demonstration of Solidworks functionality. Clear instruction and very understandable. I've used this software for over 15 years as a freelancer and it still performs better as time goes by. Very useful 35 minute demo thanks for sharing.
This was a fantastic demonstration. I'd love to watch more on how you created the buttons etc. I just accepted a position as an industrial designer and would love to learn more.
This is why I love solid works so much. I am always learning something new and the software is always evolving. Great video. Eye-opening for me. James in DFW Texas
I am trying to create medical simulation product. I need to import human bony structure into software and edit? No idea how to do that, but solidworks is good software for that?
Excellent! Thank you for providing a very well presented tutorial. (edit) 5 years later, I enjoyed and benefited from watching this again. Hopefully, you and yours are doing quite fine.
Absolutely loved it...the way you started making your idea intlo final product is amazing and a very fine explanation adds up to it. Really wanted to watch something like this to convert our ideas intlo models in solidworks and finally found it. Glad to see this video on recommended videos...🔥🔥
Thanks a lot Cadtek systems, this is the most simplified video I have seen on surface modeling. It was so easy to understand. Please make more such videos. A little more emphasis on details about surface thickness would help. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great tutorial and for covering some powerful features in a very easy to understand manner and speed! Glad I came across this video! I look forward to more!
Amazing instruction with a perfect surface model. I know as an instructor myself the time and effort you must have put into this. Easily in the top 5 of all SolidWorks advanced tutorials I've seen. Thank you! I would really appreciate a follow-up tutorial on the battery cover and buttons as well.
Very informative and complete tutorial. Thank you for sharing. I have been doing this (and similar approaches) in modeling products with Solidworks for years. One thing I noticed is that you do not get a "singularity" at the corners of the boundary surfaces that create the bottom of the shape. How have you managed to avoid this?
Eva Wenborn i think i took the wrong course then; i'm studying product design and we have no exams... kinda wish we did for something like this as we'd learn more but oh well
Incredible tutorial. Is there any information on how you modelled the battery compartment /cover?? Or can I download the part file from somewhere? I'm guessing you used the split feature but not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I tried multiple times, but I keep getting this error: "Unable to create lip/groove from the input. Selected edges should be in a single loop or belong to the selected faces." Can you help?
verywell done - but I am stuck when I want to delete one half of the 3d Sketch. There is a missing segment at the center line at both top-end curves, so the curves are selected into the other side. , Can you help me ?Thanks
I completedly follow the instruction to build the model, but I got broken surfaces that I couldn't knit surfaces to a solid model. I was wondering do you have any idea about solving the issue?
I get stuck in the point that I have done the 3D sketch and Converted entity. When I go to do to boundary surface, it says boundary curve features should be all closed or all. Mixed cases are not allowed. Please help.
+Ramtin Sirous It means your sketch is not closed, most likely you did not include at least one line boundary, or at least one of the vertices are not properly joined. These are hard to see sometimes, especially when there are too many lines on a sketch. Just need go back and make sure everything is nice and tight, otherwise the surface cannot be contained by your sketch.
This is really helpful! I am wondering how you, as a designer, would go about working with engineers to fit all the components inside the remote. And how you would go about modeling the fastening features etc...
Hi Claus Bertels The nice thing about using SolidWorks, is that I can create a conceptual model in this, rather than any other visualisation tools, then hand it to the development guys who can continue to use this, to add all of the detail such as bosses, and snap hooks etc. Have a look under INSERT>FASTENING FEATURE for more information, and watch this space for a video coming soon on these features. Good luck! JT
I am an engineer doing product design. I use a similar approach to recreate geometry provided by industrial designers. I insist on having native, parameteric Solidworks geometry to build my model upon. I have gotten 300 features down the road only to find out I need to adjust a curve slightly at the top level. If the top level is an imported solid, you are SOL.
If you're having trouble choosing the top curve as a boundary surface direction like I did, it's because the sketch is on the sketch picture. You have to make a 3D sketch and use convert entities to convert the line into the 3D sketch, and then you can select that as the boundary surface direction
sir im a mech student.. looking for guidance in designing procedure of prosthetics using solidworks.. it will be really helpful you share a demonstration of the designing procedure
I really enjoyed this tutorial, 9 years after it being uploaded. Thanks
Agreed.

Very helpful presentation. Thank you and best regards from Poland.
just stumbled upon your page! I must say you a fantastic teacher and your videos are very in depth but i am able to follow along easily. Thankyou!
Can I find somewhere how you added those extra details at the end? There is a really big gap between the rendering part and the part before that
Did you find it?
best video i have seen so far on surfacing
Best Tutorial on SolidWorks so far, Great job
Excellent! Thank you for providing a very well presented tutorial.

This is the best Solidworks tutorial!
Fantastic video! More videos from Jamie please! Give him his own playlist even
THIS IS AMAZING. APPLICABLE USES FOR SOLIDWORKS IN PRODUCT DESIGN. DO A COUPLE MORE VIDEOS JUST LIKE THIS, please.

You just saved my exam for tomorrow. Thanks! :D
what are you studying? I've never had to do an exam on SW
@stephen I study industrial design! It is an academic study, so naturally we need to pass exams ;)
Eva Wenborn i think i took the wrong course then; i'm studying product design and we have no exams... kinda wish we did for something like this as we'd learn more but oh well
Stephen M Weird; product design is very similar. You probably zoom into other stuff more than we do :)
Hello, could you upload for the final part? I already made it and finished it (Lip/Groove) except adding the button and the accessories.
Excellent tutorial, this will help immensely for a project I'm working on. Thanks!
Excellent , Detailed demo.Thank you
Very helpful. Thanks。。from a Rhino user
Incredible tutorial. Is there any information on how you modelled the battery compartment /cover?? Or can I download the part file from somewhere? I'm guessing you used the split feature but not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Well done. Good technique. I did not realize that SW had commercially available textures. In some applications that would pay for a SW license.
you have to be in hand drawing to design consumer products?
fantastic demo, thank you
which command did you use to pick out highest point on a curve
the greatest lesson ever! thanks
Where can I find bosses, snaps and vent explanations ?
From about 15:35 he's turning the model in a very smooth way that doesn't seem to be pre-saved views. Anyone know how?
3D mouse, like Spacemouse.
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you very much!
I tried multiple times, but I keep getting this error: "Unable to create lip/groove from the input. Selected edges should be in a single loop or belong to the selected faces." Can you help?
very professional. great video.

thank you ! this tutorial is really helpful
Gold - Thank you!
very well done ! keep new ones coming !
I can't do the boundary surface, i can't select the line, can you help me?
Mind Blown !!
Thanks for the education!
Thank you Jamie, good job

I can't thank you enough for this
Many thanks sir how do I design a trailer travel in solid works please?
Excellent tutorial for beginners like me
This is really helpful! I am wondering how you, as a designer, would go about working with engineers to fit all the components inside the remote. And how you would go about modeling the fastening features etc...

Amazing, design+explanation thank you
This is just excelent !!!
Amazing ! Good Job !
Your video is very helpful ❤
Really great tutorial thank you
hi from where i can get the sketch pictures ?
Great demonstration :)
If you're having trouble choosing the top curve as a boundary surface direction like I did, it's because the sketch is on the sketch picture. You have to make a 3D sketch and use convert entities to convert the line into the 3D sketch, and then you can select that as the boundary surface direction
Thank you for all!
good surfacing tutorial. Thanks
Hey, what program is that with the splat cat icon. Also Great tutorial.
Wonderful job, thank you
Nice work for design tutorial solidworks
I believe if you add remote control on the title page, you would probably get more views. Thanks for the video
It is a perfect explanation
sir im a mech student.. looking for guidance in designing procedure of prosthetics using solidworks..
it will be really helpful you share a demonstration of the designing procedure
The zebra stripes here show you have surface matching problems left and right. The better way to check is to use surface combs.
Great video!
Amazing tutorial
You are the best one!!!!!
Great tutorial!!!
That was awesome.
Excellent video.
Are most of these features still available in 2023?
Everything is available and some got even better
incredible, five stars !
this one toturial is good maybe after this we make more other products . but i like key shot software for rendering
You... you have 8 processors?
Fantastic....
I hope this guy is doing fine, very good tutorial
Old but gold
Thank you for sharing!
nicely explained.. thanks.
Very nice, and the explanation is seeming-less like your remote control!
Thank you for this video
You are a king
brilliant job!!!!
Sooooo cool thanks
