So, I have 30 years experience in 3D (started in 3D Studio DOS); have professionally written custom code for 3D; and am a math teacher - so, I understood everything :) But there's one technical thing you might be able to clear up... Difference between 'C', and 'G' continuities? I've read up, but would appreciate another take. TIA.
The examples shown here were all fully constrained If you are referring to detailed drawings and for inspection purposes, commonly they will be toleranced using GD&T features such as "Profile of a Surface"
That would be a great enhancement! SOLIDWORKS has added a number of features over the years to help with advanced surfaces such as these newer G3 Spline relations. As of today though, if you need a mechanical CAD package that can do true G3 surface continuity we would recommend taking a look at CATIA.
This is a great video for showing how to modify NACA airfoils
very helpful in industrial design thx!
Thank you! Very helpful and a few neat shortcuts I didn’t know.
Perfect video, thank you
Some great tips here. Thank you.
EXCELLENT! Thx. "Deep" stuff :)

@@swamihuman9395 There is a difference between the use of C & G. But C & G used in SolidWorks context are interchangeable.
If SolidWorks behaved like Alias on surface our job would be so much better.
Thank you!
Making complex radii is one thing but how are they dimensioned?

A tutorial please. @@hawkridgesystems
Why can't you set G3 curvature for edges of surfaces? I think that's a function in Alias.
