Hi, Can somebody please tell me what type of plastic this is moulded (the arm that clips over the chair)from and the moulding method? I assume some sort of Polymer that is injection moulded? I cant find a bigger picture so I hope this is enough.. ] I need to design a bendy component using...

Thanks for that.. I am doing just that for one of my parts. Although its a B surface it may be used to cut male Bucks for Carbon fibre parts. I looked into the conic rad on youtube, and between them and a small blend, the differance is small. By adjusting the paramater (like you said 0.6) you...

I have only looked at surfacic analysis to check any inflections so never used the radius analysis! the min is 1.15 on a blend. Im trying to thicken to 3mm.. could this be part of the problem? need to understand this

Definitly going to try this option.... Does anybody know if a small radius (with conic option set to 0.5) would be noticably different than using a curvature continuity blend? on the actual phyisical part.

Yes helps thanks Do you mean do this only to highlight the problimatic areas? or create a multi thickened part from multi joined surfaces?

Hi, Unable to thicken surface models containing blends. Please forgive the long explanation of my problem but it’s the only way I can describe it.. I have been using GSD to create some 3D models that will be used to create plastic panels for a scooter. I am fairly proficient at using GSD...

Thanks all. Jeff that will help most for what I am doing.

Hi, I am bulding an assembly that will contain lots of common parts so would like to find an easy way to copy parts within the design tree in assembly. If I multi select (using ctrl key) a collection of components and copy to clipboard, and hit paste, only 1 component is pasted into the tree. I...

another method..great

Perfect! thanks

Hi, I have been asked to create a number of drawings all very similar to each other. I have created my first drawing linked to the 3D model. I would like to be able to create several variations of the model each varying slightly in size but...then be able to create copys of the original...

Thanks for the ideas. Using sketch picture means having show sketches in assembly which is no good..never mind Thanks

Hi, I have simple block models and would like to apply a single image (jpg or bmp) to a selected surface. Can I do this without Photoworks? Thanks.

I'm noticing that its quite powerfull...very usefull for creating bought in items for your models!

thanks for confirming that!
