Other than trying a simple loft , I have never looked at the surfacing tools. Thanks for the brief lesson in surfacing. Now I have a new project for the wet and cold weekend !!
I would like to know a bit more about the purpose of surfaces. In terms of 3D printing do they have any practical reason to use them? I am stuck thinking that surfaces have no actual thickness.
They are more flexible for modeling-how could one have designed that fill surface otherwise? If you want to 3D-print that type of object you just apply a thickness (thicken is the command) and you are ready
@@cademistAh, thicken is what I needed. I was trying the extrude option again after creating a surface from a sketch. That would only pick one part of the sketch pattern though. Thanks
Thanks for the video! By the way, do you have any experience with a freecad? As a CAD newcomer i found it totally counterintuitive compared to onshape or fusion or even autocad. Any chance you can make a video making any model you like in freecad just for example?
Thanks for adding keypresses overlay! It''s just as awesome and useful as i expected it to be.
I'm glad that helps, and thank you for the suggestion.
Finally a CAD channel that uses a keyboard overlay 🤌
one subscriber suggested that!
Wonderful demonstration and I can appreciate your understanding of the 3 dimensional space and the construction geometry. Great going and thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Well, let's loft much more to heat things up!
Recommend watching this in 1.5x. Still Learned a lot tho! Great job
Good to hear!
Thanks for another awesome model.
It will be fun to try this in Fusion 360. You have given enough clues.
You are giving me the idea to publish this on that side as well!
thinking to 3D print this piece, I see you have not defined the thickness of the walls... where/when is that defined?
thanks
That's the transition from surface to solid by "thicken" , which is the fifth command from the left on top.
Very helpful. Cheers
Glad to hear it!
Good Job
thx

I'm glad I could help you out@@config2000
Amazing thank you sooo much
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for the video!

I had a look at it so far, but have not really worked with it, although I share your interest.
Cannot use the fill tool. it says the requirements may be too high.
First try "position". control your lines, especially the two arcs: there can't be any overlap!
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
