SOLIDWORKS Product Designer's Tricks - Grills and Patterns using Faces Curves

Learn how to use the Face-Curves tool to extract the topology lines from surfaces, and quickly use the result in design features: decorations, grills, meshes, grips, etc.
***Update: Got a great tip:
At 1:30 before clicking "Face Curves", open a new empty 3D Sketch, and then do the "Face Curves".
This would throw all the curves into the 3D sketch, thus eliminating some annoying "feature management" steps!
(Thanks Dean!)
This tutorial is for intermediate to advanced SolidWorks users.

Really Awesome. I do SolidWorks all day and had never thought of using surface curves like that.

Absolutely we enjoy your tutorials
Thank you

Great tips in SW. Looking forward to what else you may be able to share. Thanks.

It would be great if you showed how you got the final grill design with the two different directions, though you showed for one direction. I'd like to know how you manage to change the thickness for one direction.
Thank you

Hello Ziv, Do you offer private online course? I need to build a shoe design and I would like someone like you to teach me how to create it in solidworks 2020 and assemble the parts. Please reply and we can discuss farther details in emails or using other communication source.
