At 9:00 I skipped mathing thing at all. Just edit first sketch and add outer dimension construction lines. Use them for extrude distance. Giving you more control with first sketch as well
I normally don't comment on videos but I've been using OnShape for several years now as a hobbyist and you did at least 3 things in this video that blew my mind as I had no idea those quality of life features were there in the software. Just those 3 things will save me a ton of time and frustration doing it the tedious way (ie, sketches that I apparently don't need, switching between lines and curves, ...). Thanks a ton!!!
Always useful for users to see alternative approaches to modelling and benchmark their performance to others. I followed the Onshape VS Solidworks competition on this part. Without the stopwatch in another program I use, my first times were around 13 minutes - quite poor... but after practicing, practicing and much more practicing my last 3 runs were 5:22, 5:26 and 5:38. The actual winning time of the official comp was around 6:30 in the stress of battle and without prior practice, I doubt if I could match that time. But is there really a need to model from prints? I can understand better acquaintance with sketching methods, which is important and FUN but why the emphasis on copying prints - can anyone enlighten me please - Thanks!
Wow I finally got one right! I couldn't remove the faces in steps 6 and 7 for some reason. Not sure what I did wrong so had to come at it a different way.
I am following the video but when I want to define the last angle for the line that is tangent to the circle I get this error: "A dimension cannot be added between a curve and one of its points." If anyone can help it would be amazing!
Try this: 1. Enter the sketch 2. Choose USE on the sketching toolbar 3. Choose the circle from the model 4. Exit the USE command Then try adding the tangent relationship If that doesnt work - try hitting up the DISCORD - you can drop images a little easier in there (in the #practice-models channel)

Oh man that is BRILLIANT! Thanks!

Awesome! So glad these are helpful and stay tuned - we got a lot of good stuff coming!!
@@TooTallToby I'll be on the lookout! Thanks!
thank you
Awww yeah! Glad this helps!
Great job again TTT! 👏
Thanks Eric!

I did mid plane Boss Extrude 140 mm then extrude cut Rectangle 80X 80 through all, upward. Dragos
Very nice!
1300.18g in 25min to solve and 5min to troubleshoot :D, i made it way more complicated that it needed to be
lol - I often make things way to complicated too. :-) Nice job solving it!

Well done - Delete face is definately a good tool to learn!

@@TooTallToby Thank you for the reply! I managed to get the angle to work! Finished the model and it looks great! Thank you for this tutorial!
Nice. I learned a lot form this. Thanks
Glad to hear it!

Very nice!

I saw your correction! nice job!
Hi TTT cousin TODD
lol - nice reference! TODD is so cool and buff!
