Rapid! My initial thought was loft with guide curves, it just goes to show there are several ways to "skin a cat" when it comes to SolidWorks. Also, always easy to make remarks at this point, retrospectively but in the heat of the moment you have to go with your instincts and that it seemed to work out very nicely!! 👏
Hi Avito, there are gaps between moves because the recording is live footage from when Gordon took the challenge. It was his first time seeing the drawing, so those gaps are the moments where he was working out what to create next. It's not a perfectly clean walkthrough but we thought this was worth sharing.
Ensure that you used Plain Carbon Steel for the material. The only other thing would be the mesh quality. There is normally a healthy degree of tolerance on FOS for this reason.
While possibly faster, I went for the simplest sketches. Hindsight is always good after the fact, and there are some things that I could/should have watched for. (fillet previews were off, I prefer them on). Any pause time would also be me double or triple checking the sizes. Out of over 500 participants, only 30+ had a perfect solution/model. It is too easy to miss or overlook a dimension or detail.

can this be solved with loft?
greats
Also another thing is why is there so much waiting time in between moves? Is the video slowed down for educational purposes?

@@TriMechGroup noted, excellent content.
Any reason I'm getting 2.30 for FOS? I'm getting 128.69 grams for the mass. 🤔

Taughts on a single revolved cut? Instead of 3 extrude cuts 3 sketches etc? Should be atleast 2x faster
