    Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch

    Thanks, maybe it was just a weird error or something because I can see them now, but before they weren't coming up as external references, even though they were the cause.

    Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch

    Yeh that's what I tried but it only lists Sketch Relations! I would have expected it to list dimensions too but it doesn't. I went through all the external relations and none of them would have stopped me from re-ordering the sketches that I wanted to, but when I tried to do that it wouldn't...

    Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch

    Thanks, but this is for a part, not an assembly...

    Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch

    Hi, I know how to check for sketch relations which relate to something outside of the sketch they are in, but I can't find a way to check for dimensions that have been measured against something that is outside the sketch. The reason I want to do this is so that I can re-order my sketches. I...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Wow yeh some of those are great, although I saw at least one is rendered with 3ds and Vray :P

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Yeh it seems from looking at Coroflot most Industrial Design positions require Alias/AutoDesk (Studiotools I guess, they're not specific) experience

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Yeh that's not too shabby at all. I noticed you're an Industrial Designer, is Solidworks the industry standard for Industrial Designers or are there other programs? I'm a Product Designer and I use Solidworks but would like to learn something a bit more freeform...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    ok thanks I'll have a look at those

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Ok thanks guys I think because I haven't seen any examples of renderings done with Photoworks that look really realistic I just don't think it can be done (unless someone can show me a rendering to prove otherwise). I've had numerous attempts at it but the results I get are more functional than...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Awesome thanks! My PC isn't too bad, 2.66ghz core 2 duo, 1gb ram and 7950gt gfx, gotta upgrade the RAM but otherwise can't get much better except for a specialised workstation...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Thanks Theophilus, but although that looks good, it's just not realistic enough. Because I only want to spin a model, I can capture rendered images frame-by-frame so I want to be able to generate the most real-looking images possible. This is for making it look pretty (for my website), it...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Ok thanks, but can anyone recommend anything besides Photoworks that is just designed to create pretty pictures with minimum setup? Photoworks isn't powerful enough, but 3D Studio Max just confuses me...

    Rendering Solidworks Models

    Hi, I've got a load of consumer product models that I want to render, but Photoworks just doesn't do them justice. My end goal is to animate the models so that they are spinning on a central vertical axis, whilst also being fully rendered (I may have to do it frame-by-frame if it's too much to...

    What takes up more space in Solidworks? A cube or a box?

    Awesome thanks I've never seen or used that before
  15. titaniumapple

    What takes up more space in Solidworks? A cube or a box?

    Ah okay I understand. It's not really for anything right now, I was just wondering for future reference so I know how to cut down on stuff I don't need to make the system run smoother. Less features = better performance
  16. titaniumapple

    Can I delete a feature without deleting it's children?

    Yeh I think getting rid of all the relations first is the only way to do it

    What takes up more space in Solidworks? A cube or a box?

    Thanks! So that means it's not about the amount of material then

    What takes up more space in Solidworks? A cube or a box?

    Hi, just wondering what would require more computing power to move around/model in Solidworks - a solid cube or a hollowed out one? It's just so I know whether I need to shell something or not to get the best performance. Thanks!

    Will this PC be able to handle heavy-duty modelling and rendering?

    Yeh I was considering an Intuos3 but as they're so expensive I might go for an Intuos2, what are the good/bad points of an Intuos2?
