Modelling a Y Branch Blend, With Creases, in Solidworks. Blending Surfaces

This video is a continuation from a previous one where I model a Y branch blend. In this video I explore blending between a cylinder and a section with hard corners. The result is a form that has creases that fade as they progress around the blend between the forms. Next I use swept pipes to trim along the edges and build smaller blends. You can view the previous video here. • Modelling a Y Branch B...

So well this lecture sir

[@cadcaetutorial2039]

Very well this lecture

[@schalkvandermerwe3838]

Thanks again!
Did that slight deviation show up in your Rhino test?

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Yes and no... I think I went overboard on the extra sections, which improved one area while another area went backwards!

great video Andrew. I have a question about the alignment choices in a few of the surface lofts ive seen you do. specifically the first loft at 3:22 in this video. would you go into some more depth on what you were looking for, or why you chose those two for this specific loft?

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

Hi there. In that boundary surface, I wanted the handle boundary to line up with the iso parameter/curve direction of the handle surface, so basically aligned with the direction of the handle extrusion. The other boundary on the cylinder has align to section normal, I guess this probably could have also been iso parameter. The main effect of changing these options is how the 2nd direction of the surface behaves, given no 2nd direction curves have been defined. If I had picked align with other geometry, the 2nd direction would be much straighter, looking from a side elevation.

Great video.
Why did you chose 9.5 as your distance for the point in (3DSketch7-forPlane)?
And why did you decide to make plane19 perpendicular to the style spline from sketch 11.
I've played around with it by moving the point along the spline, do you have a method for choosing where the point goes? Like a formula or way to find the apex?

Hi Omar, I had instant 3d on and had dragged the points around and settled on 9.5. To be honest I most of the time it is gut feel or using the ‘eyeOmeter’ to make decisions!

[@alicnar2321]

Can you showcase some of your recent public projects?

[@alicnar2321]

I mean finished render type, not 3d models

Hi Ali, I have a pile of stuff on Behance and some product development projects on my website. There's a chair I did most of the final CAD modelling on that is being launched soon. Chair projects, recent seems to equal 2-3 years at least with covid induced delays etc...

Chair looks thin af. 15 stackable wow impressed 👏

[@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio]

@@alicnar2321 Yep the designers spent quite a bit of time on that one!
