your brain is different lol anyone on solidworks should understand me saying, "having the ability to conceive of the math that forms an object", but this is advanced imo. great work. I haven't seen this approach before. thanks for sharing
You can do quite a bit with the deformed tool; map it to a spline, create a 3d sketch with points at each vertex on the deformed ribbon/tool then use the 3d sketch to drive a sketch pattern. I’m currently trying to figure out how to create the sketch points automatically, so you can change the graph pattern instance count and have everything update without intervention.
And he did it again! Great stuff, Andrew. Your tutorials are an inspiration. I always wonder how you came up with these techniques.. But man.. making textures in Solidworks seems so tedious. It would be nice to have grasshopper for Solidworks.
Hi VP, yeah this technique started life as a grid on a Formway chair, except each line segment along the edge was drawn manually. I figured there is a better way and I remembered the ProE evalGraph tool. Grasshopper in SW? I was thinking the same thing. I had a look at RhinoLive the other day, you can run Rhino/Grasshopper within another application. Unfortunately my programming skills are not there - it'd be fantastic if it did happen though.

Good stuff, yeah it is a bit different!
thanks
How do you not have like a million followers with this kind of content!? SOLID AF.
Been really slow going trying to get to 1000! Must not have enough solid extrudes in the vids!
@@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio ha! "solid" is right there in the title of the software. Of course it's just for modeling simple extruded solids.
Yeah and so is ‘works’ and we all know that does not always happen!
SortaWorks. SeldomWorks. Yeahhhhh.
Absolutely amazing process, going to have a go at this in SW.

@@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio If you manage that then you’ve gone above and beyond, maybe it might be a job for a Macro possibly?
Yeah macro might be the way forward
Sir Andrew Jackson! 😃🙌🙌🙌👏👏
I had forgotten about the variable pitch pattern experiments! This is why I record my SW stuff - for my own benefit as much as for sharing!!

Wow this is amazing 👏
Cheers! Got some more ideas for where the graph can be used as well :)
