Thank you for sharing awesome tutorial. I'm Korean and just started to learn Autocad and even if I 'm not familiar with English, your tutorial is way better and way easier than Korean tutorials. You are saying really easy, and understandable with actually showing what does how. Thank you so much.
I must say, your tutorials are better than the books. I’m learning AutoCad and SolidWorks because I’m becoming an electrical engineer and your videos are of a very good source. Keep up the good work. I’ve subscribed since the first day I watched the first video and ever since I’ve give a thumbs up 👍
I can't seem to make the inner loft. Tried SELECTIONSECTIONING and XEDGES but they don't work. Any help? Saw your email address and sent you my dwg file if you can help manipulate that last part. Please help
I am having the same problem that Jevais is having. The 3rd circle on the top combines with the object made with the loft tool and doesn't show up with selection cycling on. The circle delete's itself.
Was anybody able to fix the problem at 7:32 with the loft, when I try to click on the top circle it selects the entire figure? I tried the SelectionCycling advice but it never changed anything.
Actually there isn't a top inner circle after first loft(no.3 circle at first loft), i try to hide the first lofted solid and noticed only bottom inner circle left. I don't know why. (The variable you mentioned is 2)
Hi, SourceCAD, I'm an aviation mechanic, and I just want to take a couple of line to correct your video title. Your title says that you are making a jet engine with a propeller but what you have drawn was a jet engine with a fan or simply a turbofan. And I think the distinction between the two is important. A turbofan has a lot of thin blades incased in an engine cowling (nacelle) whereas a turboprop has a few thick blade outside of the nacelle.
Thanks for explaining this Bryan it is really nice of you to spare your time for pointing out the correction. But as you can see here I have oversimplified the model to explain the 3D tools and the "propeller" word is probably more recognizable among the masses when compared with turbofan so it's used here, hope you will get my point :)
great video, but i'm having trouble creating the cowl, especially the inner void. I seen that you selected 'circle' from a selection menu, but I can't find that menu
Jevais Sterling on status toggle turn on selection cycling then you will find a pop up menu while selecting circle, this image will make it clear goo.gl/7aGlhb
SourceCAD I have done what you have said. The internal surface was created, however its till shows the ends as being closed. Also the menu didn't appear for the top circle, I had to use Ctrl + spacebar to get it. It did , however appear for the one at the bottom.
Jevais Sterling The selection cycling menu appears only when there are at least two interfering elements, I'm sorry Jevais the details are not sufficient to interpret your exact requirements if possible share a screenshot that might help
Michael Melchiorre you can try this, type XEDGES on command line > select complete geometry > press enter new edges will be created on complete geometry, If you still have problem do let me know
thanks for the video. I´m argentinian and i speak little english i have a question i do the jet engine, but in the minute 7:30 when do you start with the loft I do not box appears that says selection. which key i play. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO"
That box is selection cycling box, to turn it on type SELECTIONCYCLING on command line press enter then type 1 and press enter again. to turn it off repeat the command and change its value to 0 instead of 1
Thanks for the tutorial, but i m having a problem in creating that after selecting three circles for outer surface loft. when i try to make another loft for inner surface it doesn't let me select the upper circle to start loft command. please help to get it done..
I'm getting this weird where if I try to surfnetwork the Object... Suddenly it becomes 2 dimensional meaning it becomes flat and I don't get the curved fin that I want
Hello i am a first year mech engineering major and would like to know a few things about autocad , can you make a electric motor run by simulating input voltage, a engine run with fuel input assuming both components were virtually assembled correctly, thanks and if autocad cant do some of these things could you recommend a 3d software that could.
Andy Cruz Hi Andy, thanks for your interest in my videos, unfortunately I may not be able to help you in this regard as I am AutoCAD user and not well versed in other engineering tools and certainly AutoCAD cant create simulation which you need. MAYA can be used to create that kind of simulation but it might seem like an overkill if you are looking for simple animation.
Just to clarify the terminology - this is not a turbine, but a fan. The fan or rather propeller converts mechanical energy into fluid energy and creates movement from the reaction force. The turbine instead converts fluid enegy into work, as in turning the rotor in a hydro electric plant. The turbine in a jet engine sits at the end of the common shaft and is put in motion by the expelled gases, thus turning the fan in the front of the engine, which acts both as a first stage compressor and propeller, maximising efficiency.
This may be due to hardware acceleration being disabled. Type 3DCONFIG on command line and press enter then turn on hardware acceleration. Your hardware needs to support open GL to make hardware acceleration work. Let me know if this solves your issue.
Hi, I am using Inventor 2016 and I cannot seem to find the "network" command and I have searched it as well. Any ideas as to where I could find the feature or what the name of the feature could have been changed to?
+Valery Botsko If circles are not visible then you can create them by using EXTRACTEDGES command, I have used this command multiple times in the video.
+Valery Botsko you can use a simple method if required geometry is not visible, move your cursor close to geometry and then press CTRL+spacebar this will cycle all geometries which are present close to each other when correct geometry highlights click to select it. Are you talking about loft made at 7:30 if I am correct ?
make sure you have turned on "selection cycling" from status toggle, if it is not turned on then type SELECTIONCYCLING on command line and press enter and then type 2 and press enter again. let me know if you still face issues.
+SourceCAD thanks, I already did the SELECTIONCYCLING, but when i choose the circle on top, it says"Selected cross section is not a valid type.1 found 1 was filtered out, 0 total". so, i still cant loft the two circles :(
have you moved all the circles on three different planes which are separated by vertical distance only? this could be the issue. try this and if you are still not able to make it then send the DWG file to admin@thesourcecad.com ad I will get back to you.
If you are talking about the rendering then I would like to add here that rendering as shown in fIrst frame of the video is not made with AutoCAD it's done with keyshot.
So they way this was drawn the center spin cone was not on the center line of the blade rotation center line. Finding the pivot center line of the blades would have been easy if you had used a construction line to pivot your blades around.
mohan kumar you can try this, type XEDGES on command line > select complete geometry > press enter new edges will be created on complete geometry and then you can select circles, If you still have problem do let me know
Giorgio Di Chiara it might be due to wireframe visual style, change visual style to shaded. you can change visual style by clicking on visual style control on top left of drawing area.
DANNY40379 AutoCAD and CATIA are completely different software's, AutoCAD being a non parametric one can be used very efficiently for 2D drawings and simple 3D drawings but CATIA is specifically good for parametric designing and making big 3D surface or assembly designs which cant be made with AutoCAD. Also there is a huge cost difference between the two software's so I believe a user who needs to use simple 3D drawing will not opt for CATIA because of this cost factor. Hope I made myself clear!

Make sure SELECTIONCYCLING system variable is set to 2 in order to see the menu that appears for overlapping entities.

Is it possible to run simulation for this engine....
OK, i know whats wrong at 7:32 now: should use the tool "Surface->Loft", NOT "Home->Loft". One create solid and the other one create surface.
thanks

Bro can u list the details of your system configuration for 3d modeling.. and which graphic card r u using for rendering.
0:59 followed step by step but i can't move line in z-axis. it always end up moved in y-axis.
Before moving to Z axis switch your UCS to world co-ordinate by clicking on world icon on co-ordinates panel

Can you tell me which laptop is best for 3D modelling ?
Great video. What did you say you used for the rendering? I couldn't quite catch what you said there. Thanks
Thanks Marie, I use Keyshot for rendering
+SourceCAD Thanks. I am having a problem. I am not getting the selection options at 7:35 to create the internal loft. Can you help?
You need to activate selection cycling for that type SELECTIONCYCLING press enter then enter 1 as the value for this system variable.
In the last loft part, I can't select the circle on the top, but I can the one on the bottom. How many circles do you have in total? 4 or 5?
+Valery Botsko If circles are not visible then you can create them by using EXTRACTEDGES command, I have used this command multiple times in the video.
+SourceCAD
When have you used it in this video?
+Valery Botsko you can use a simple method if required geometry is not visible, move your cursor close to geometry and then press CTRL+spacebar this will cycle all geometries which are present close to each other when correct geometry highlights click to select it. Are you talking about loft made at 7:30 if I am correct ?
having problem with the loft on the last part .. when i also type XEDGES, i dont see selection for GEOMETRY . what should i do?
