Im having a hard time trying to figure out how I would do this.

What would be the easiest way to model something like this without spending a ton of time?
Is there any reason why it wont work for me? Im in an assembly, I right click on an object and press "change transparency", and it doesnt do anything.
Anything I should check to see why its not working?
Hopefully this is simple enough..
Im trying to mirror one set of bodies to another side. If you take a look at the picture, Im trying to mirror the left side across Plane 3. I can mirror it just fine, however that line is there. (The one I circled) How do I merge the 2 parts together?
When I...
Is there anyway that I can take a view of my 3d design, and convert it into AutoCAD? We have some of our designs in Solidworks, and some in AutoCAD and I was hoping to transfer some of my models into AutoCAD, is this possible? Thanks!
Im trying to create some eccentric reducers, and it was pretty simple, except that now I cant fillet the features to either fillet together, or merge. Any help?
Thanks..
I have an assembly with about 30 parts and sub-assemblies, and when I try to make one of the parts transparent, it works, but if I click on anything else it automatically makes it a solid again. How do I make it continously transparent?
This is a very basic questions, but Ive never learned how to do it. I created a part in MM on accident, and now I need to switch the part to inches. Is there a simple way to convert the part from mm to inches? Thanks
If you take a look at the jpeg, you can see what Im trying to do. Im trying to use the "Revolved Boss/Base" feature command to create this part. But I keep getting a Rebuild Error that says "Resulting feature is too large to fit in the modeler limits. This operation will fail."
Any suggestions...
If you look at the image, I have a selected line, going at a 45 degree angle off the extrude. Is there a way that I can cut the extrude at that 45 degree angle?
As you can see from the jpeg, Im trying to use the "Swept Boss/Base" command to draw a pipe going both directions once it reaches the end, but the command wont let me. How do I draw a pipe going in both directions? Is there a command I should be using instead of the Swept Boss?
Ill try and describe this as best as I can.. If you look at the jpeg, Im trying to draw some pipe, and some of them are on 45 degree angles. On the left, I have a circle, and Im trying to rotate the circle 45 degrees so I can draw a pipe coming off that vertitcally at a 45. But when I rotate the...
Im trying to figure out how to make this pipe go in both directions. As you can see from the attached picture, I want that blue pipe to go to the right (which it does) but I also want it to go to the left as well.
I used the Swept Boss command, but it wont let me draw the pipe going in both...
If you take a look at the picture I included, Im trying to get that (light blue) arc to be 18" long, starting from the 45 degree angle coming out, but Im having a really hard time figuring out how to do that. Do you guys have any ideas? Im sure its pretty simple I just cant get it..
Thanks in...
If you take a look at the image, it doesnt look realistic with the lines on it.. How do I remove them? I know about the merge option, but that seems to ruin my fillets. Is there a way to get rid of the lines?
As you can see from the picture, I want my objects to be separate. I drew black lines where I want my objects to stay separate, but instead they kinda joined as one surface? Is there anyway to avoid that? Thanks...
All I want to do is revolve the circle 360 degress around so it looks like a 3.5" pipe going around in a full circle, but the "Revolved Boss/Base" and "Swept Boss/Base" commands are greyed out. What am i doing wrong?
Im trying to create a tank, one that holds natural gas, and yet I cant figure out how to create a dome. I have the basic shape of the middle, but creating a dome on the top has proved challenging. I draw a circle and give it a surface, but that doesnt work... So I create a solid and create a...
