I find this whole exercise extremely frustrating. First of all, the nozzle is not referenced to be 2.4" from centerpoint to axis of symmetry. Secondly, the 2.23REF dimension is not accurate either for Sections A and C. Notice how he uses the tangent constraint ( At 6:30) to ensure the top of the C section touches the top of the hemisphere and that everything is flush. This clashes with the idea that the center hole is 2.23" from the bottom. Moreover, this forces you to make the center hole concentric with the previous circular sketch (At 9:15), which again, if you use 2.23, makes it NOT concentric.
Yeah same here, the documentation is simply not correct. Furtherore he keeps selecting BREP surfaces and using delete surface function which is a huge no no in CAD modeling.
At 7:24 when you dimension the distance between the centers of circles to be 1.75 shouldn't it be 1.5 according to the drawing in the beginning? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything
SOLIDWORKS and that is a detail that is going to do some effect on the final fillets. So god no longer is in details but the devil. I love taking these ModelMania as practice to be a better SW user.
@@Felceaz Hey with the correct 1.5" spacing of that feature, were you not able to finish all the fillets on the phase 2 portion? I can't get the .188 fillets on the edges of those 3 extruded features.
yeah the blueprint is wrong, the dimention is down by 0.1 inches in the finished model from the video, either those circles are not concentric or the rounding of the program fooled us, 2.23'' to the middle center must be wrong.
Martin07031 Dragging with the middle mouse button can accomplish that. Alternately, you can use the arrow keys and hold down shift to rotate in 90 degree increments.
SOLIDWORKS Yes, but I never get that exact mark on the screen like you while rotating (the vertical arrows don't appear). I'm clicking my mouse wheel but it rotates in all directions. You're moving with the body only from the right to the left. How can I move just like that? I'm using Solidworks 2013. Thank you.
@@Martin07031I don't think you need it anymore given the time passed or maybe it's useful for others who read, however right click on the graphics area and you find "rotate around the vertical axis"
Yup, same thing for me. I ended up just giving a best estimate to complete the part when I created my own, but I see that I wasn't crazy and the dimension was actually missing.
Hi I qm not able to extrude cut at the last from the previous sketch.I click the extrude cut and selected the sketch but it wan't give me to select axis and contours
I am unable to extrude for some reason I get an error message that says bosses cannot have both open and closed contours and now I'm stuck I've redrawn the tangents and I can't seem to move forward. I am working in 2019 Solidworks and selected contours doesn't allow me to do this without the thin feature...I was wondering if this is still possible without having to trim the geometry as that is the only way I can proceed correctly
+ivan stoqnov It's possible you don't that material in your library. If you follow the instructions in this comment, you can see a variety of materials to add.
Anyone add a material and confirm the mass? I used alloy steel and got a mass of 4.27 lbs after the final modifications. And please add the length of the cylindrical boss to the drawing!
Excellent video: Where can you get the drawings for the Model Mania videos? I would like to have the drawings print and practice from the print drawings!!
1. How did you know that the hole is 1in in ? It doesn´t sa it anywhere on the drawing. 2. You keep selecting BREP surfaces, that´s a huge NO NO in any modeling software. 3. Where is it dimensioned to be 2.4in ? This is simply missing as well. 4. Same with deleting faces, WTF is that ? Quick and Dirty
... the drawing link in your blog is missing the 2.40 dimension for the 6deg inclined boss.
I was baffledby that too!
@@eartheartbaratheon791 Me too!
I had the same mistake.
Literally didn't understand what I was missing! Was going mental!
@@TheScottGordon same for me, then I saw the dimension on the video ...

Why does the drawing shown in this video include the 2.40" dimension, but the Solidworks website drawing for this does not include it?

physicsforyourmom Good catch! You're correct, it should be 1.5".

Felce Azzurra It's true, those small details can add up and catch you out. Good attitude, sounds like a great way to practice!

13:35 is the value 2.4 mentioned in the drawing?
yeah cant find that dimension
May I get the dimension 2.4" added to CAD drawings
13:29 I have no Idea where this 2.4 in comes from I didnt see it at all on the drawing or see a way to mathmatically figure it out
@ 7:56 the distance between the circles is 1.5 inches?
yeah the blueprint is wrong, the dimention is down by 0.1 inches in the finished model from the video, either those circles are not concentric or the rounding of the program fooled us, 2.23'' to the middle center must be wrong.
Hi, what a combination on your keyboard do you use that you can rotate the screen like that? It is in 11:28 Thank you.

Thank you for sharing solution. But there are drawing mistake 2.23 REF and missing dimension 2.4 mm extrusion length for cylinder :(
Yup, same thing for me. I ended up just giving a best estimate to complete the part when I created my own, but I see that I wasn't crazy and the dimension was actually missing.
the 2.4 of the cylinder
Can you list the keyboard shortcuts you used ?
I was going insane thinking through what I did wrong
Thanks for the video
Failed in creating fillet. I wish SW can avoid those fillet errors instead of completed the fillet in separated features.
I'm curious but what did you get for the mass of the part? I know the material is unspecified but I got 0.573 pounds.
at 16:52 where do you click update?
Hi I qm not able to extrude cut at the last from the previous sketch.I click the extrude cut and selected the sketch but it wan't give me to select axis and contours
Thank you. These are so helpful to a novice like me
Why did you completely ignore the 2.23 dimension?
@@gabrielhernancastrovilchis7024 thanks for the response, I managed to figure it out.
May you please share the weight of this part?
no material is specified
Awesome, keep uploading your videos, thanks a lot ! :)
7:23 It wouldn´t be 1.5 inches?
Sí
Guys whats the mass of the Model with 1060 Alloy Material is it 1.21pounds or 550.6grams?
For me, its 1.22 pounds or 554.16 grms but without modification.
Yes, you are right.
For me, it is 1.20 pounds as per the drawing(I have considered the 2.4")
1.20 pounds. Everything is fully defined.
I am unable to extrude for some reason I get an error message that says bosses cannot have both open and closed contours and now I'm stuck I've redrawn the tangents and I can't seem to move forward.

Without seeing the sketch, its hard to say what is happening. Check that the sketch is fully defined and the contour is closed.
@@thedoctor16 i got the same problem even when it's Fully Defined. What to do?
i wanna asking, sir. where you got 2.40 in minute 13.35 ?
How you open that shortcut menu
Hi there, here is our reference for Shortcut Menus: help.solidworks.com/2019/english/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_shortcut_menus.htm
I know this test is in year 2000 but the video is uploaded in 2014!
With missing dimension 2.4, how anyone won this race!!!
Can you tell me how can i make detail to look shine like yours. I change the tope of the materials of detail but there is no shining look....
+ivan stoqnov It's possible you don't that material in your library. If you follow the instructions in this comment, you can see a variety of materials to add.
I am adding new materials but i still have matte collor not shine...
it looks so much more complicated than it actually is!!
Anyone add a material and confirm the mass? I used alloy steel and got a mass of 4.27 lbs after the final modifications. And please add the length of the cylindrical boss to the drawing!
Can you please share a link for the drawings
Hi Abhideep! You can find the drawings on the following link: blogs.solidworks.com/tech/2020/03/20-years-of-model-mania.html
