Here’s a little model to do [pics attached]. The dimensions are just to give a general idea, but it doesn’t matter as long as your shapes are similar. ** when you finish, please don’t share your secrets yet. Just post screenshots! ** We will look at all the ways to do it later The first task is to make it any way you can and then the bonus task is make this model with only one sketch on the side plane. — use as many sketches as you like on the top, but the you only get a single sketch on the side plane. Also if you can’t figure out the angled faces on the posts then don’t worry at first. If you are lost about where to start, post a question here or send me a DM message

Working on Assembling.

It’s been a while! I’ve been running on little rest and juggling a lot, but I’m finding my balance again by taking things one step at a time. The ups and downs have been real. One thing I’m excited about is that I just finished a new video. I’m back to editing them myself, and it feels good to reconnect with the process. But what I really missed is you. I’d love to hear your feedback and what you want to see next. There are 5 questions inside this video. Can you answer them? I’m listening.Aryan

Hi everyone. Aryan and I have been thinking hard since the beginning of this year about how we can sustain and grow SolidWorks Accelerator. We even considered shutting it down for the hosting cost, but decided that that would be a great shame. We think it is important to have a place like this for people who have nowhere else to go for a dedicated community of SolidWorks friends. We want this place to be more than just a sampler for the bigger and non-free SolidWorks Course Pro. We will be trying to shift the discussions here away from A-B-C tutorials (apart from very basics) and toward a more dynamic community of learners and mentors. So starting today we are implementing the new plan, with a new course that you can see in the Classroom tab called "Think-CAD blog posts" for now the new course is just two links to our new blog posts about 1st-angle projections and 3rd-angle projections in drawings, and a link to a quiz, but I highly recommend you read those blog posts and check out the quiz. Bring back your results from the quiz and we can discuss them here. SA and SCP will be the exclusive venues for this content that grows out of the blog. If you have trouble with the quiz, this is the place to come and discuss it! We will be here on SA to support this new blog-fed content with more quizzes, extra explanation, sample SLDPRT files, videos, and maybe even livestreams. Also hope more new members will arrive as well. The new system is very simple and small at the moment, but we hope to expand it into something really big and engaging for you all. Please let us know what you think!

Hi, can anyone help, I need to be able to edit this model in solidworks, all I want to really do is thicken it by about 10mm I have the file as a step and also an stl, but when I try do anything it’s all in facets and each one becomes a surface. I managed to offset the front and back faces 5mm each but then I couldn’t figure out how to join them I’ve included the file for reference. I’d like to basically clean it up, smoothen it and ideally the faces to be singular surfaces so when I 3D print its a nice finish
