This is really cool, and you are right - the principles are the most important thing which nobody usually explains. Using any software is relatively simple, but stuff like this is really not obvious from the way we use the software when we start. Thanks for a great video!
@@jacoboku absolutely agree! But we have realized that it's not impossible to convert even the experienced users to efficient users😅 especially because these examples spread some kind of magic, an eye opener😂🙈
I think the term "Horizontal" doesn't convey the principle of what you're trying to communicate. I think a more accurate description is "Parallel" vs. "Serial" as a description of the Modeling Method. Serial Modeling tends to build-up subtle dependencies and associations that aren't apparent between features (Child/Parent Relationships) and result in the undesirable behaviors with the models when subsequent edits that change the geometry topology are executed as described. Conversely, each Parallel Branch of related Features retains independence to other branches of related Features within the Model. I do think that you're highlighting of the importance of selecting the Target appropriately is extremely important for Booleans. The Substract Boolean is fairly straight forward in this regard as when you select the Target/Tool incorrectly, the visual result is intuitively obvious that the order of selection is incorrect or correct. Whereas with Unite and Intersect Booleans, the visual result doesn't convey any feedback to the User and therefore is easy to overlook because everything appears as you would expect, but the underlying undesirable dependencies are embedded and result in subsequent model robustness with respect to easily editing Features that change the Model Topology where dependencies are removed, but notifications are not issued by NX notifying the User that those dependencies are being changed, by their associative removal, and replaced with static references which impacts subsequent Feature Edit capabilities with the resulting errors that you describe. All that to say, that yes, modeling using the correct method is essential to creating models which are subsequently less challenging to edit as the design evolves. As a general rule for beginners especially, but it is really a best practice for all, I recommend to not utilize Unite and Intersect Booleans when authoring models and only using Subtract Booleans. This naturally creates a model tree with parallel branches and significantly reduces the chance of extensive Serial Modeling Methods within any model.
@@jtmeeksjr yes, it doesn't convey the principle completely. That's right. It is regarding the 2 dimensional hierarchy of relations. But boolean operations is just one aspect, that has to be condidered. The selection rules and modularity has also major priority. Thank you for the detailed remark. Have a nice day, Simon
I'm in Automotive Design industry for 6-7 years now. Never heard horizontal modeling but yes I'm using relations in same way almost from initial of my carrier. Thanks for your tutorial! It's nice
Thanks for the comment🙂 my influence was the modeling technique which is used at Daimler btw. Horizontal modeling is a designation I am using in order to describe the relations hierarchy between objects. The opposite is vertical relations

Basically the idea is relation your commands with the first feature or with sketch, because if you need reorder or delete something, It’ll be less chances to get errors. Am I right? ✌️
Yep! The concept is based on a single rule called: "always create a relation to the possibly oldest available object. The entire Sketch is older than its curves e.g. If you need further explanations, all videos from the NX CAD Secrets tutorial Playlist can help (-: Have a nice day th-cam.com/video/K_VfI9AbGRw/w-d-xo.html
Hi bro..I Have done most of Research in Nx.i have many tricks that might surprise you as well. I would like to know..how to replace parent model of drafting file. I have a two file similar geometry but little different..but I have drafted for only one..now I don't want to start drafting from 0..I want to use existing file .
Thanks for the comment. Only versions can be replaced properly without manual corrections. We're these parts created separately or via save as? If save as was used, you can replace the child component within the modeling task. Right click. replace.
I am too busy currently with training video production (Teamcenter and NX) for my 150+ clients. Maybe I'll find some time for TH-cam at the year's end. Thank you for the feedback (:
Sir, thankq for your video.. I need to you sir, I have nx 1926 , i have mechanical engineering (product designer) . I am also use nx software. But, in nx 1926 , not show ( easy fill edvandce) icon.. But. I need to this command. Can you help me, sir....?
You are making me sad... I wish people in my company knows even basics. I usually can make parts in one third of steps/features that they use. I thought nobody is teaching this kind of things.
You're right. That's one of the main reasons, I've quit my employment as a cad trainer 4 years ago. There are so many potentials. Next year, we will release an official cad secrets course in multiple languages. Stay tuned and keep up the good work👍
👉👉👉What is your opinion and experiences about horizontal modeling? Shall everyone follow this strategy? I am interested in your statement 🤘
Yes! It requires maturity of course, but everyone should aim in that direction since the beginning

This is the biggest issue with training! Wow you can create geometry at lighting speed, cool. ha Great video on errors and warnings. Thanks!
Copy past would have been faster😂
Thanx you so much sir for this valuable information
Danke shoen!!!
Hey I want to know the all horizontal modling principles.. So I can learn?
