In this video, We will learning about "Lofted" and how to using an images for create a model.
Welcome back at "One Future Solution" channel.
Thanks for watching this video !
In this video, We will learning about "Lofted" and how to using an images for create a model.
So, We will use a JPEG image for our modeling reference.
Ok, let's begin !
Ok, right here We will try to create the handle from this door handle image.
So, you can download this images at the link in the description field below !
Ok, let's start !
We can open our "SolidWorks" first !
After that, We can create a new part !
"New" !
"Part" !
After that, We can make sure We are using "MMGS" for the unit system settings over here !
Click !
"MMGS" !
After that, We can import our downloaded JPEG image.
Before importing, We should to activate the sketch first on the "Top Plane" !
Right click the "Top Plane" !
Then, We can activate the "Sketch" first, click !
After the sketch was active, then We can import the image.
For importing, We can click this small arrow icon !
Go to the "Tools" !
Then, "Sketch Tools" !
Then, We can click this bottom arrow like this !
Continue to clicking this arrow until We find the "Sketch Picture" feature like this !
So, We can go to the "Tools -> Sketch Tools -> Sketch Picture".
Or We can search this feature using this "Search Command" !
Click at this field !
If there's not showing an icon like this, We can click this small arrow icon first !
"Commands" !
Then, We can click at this field !
Type "Sketch" !
After We find the "Sketch Picture" feature, We can click it, click !
Then, We can search the image that We want to use as reference !
Let's say this one, We can click this "Handle" image !
"Open" !
Nah, We can click "Ok" first !
After We import this image, We can determine the its dimension reference first !
We can create a construction line first !
"Line" -> "Centerline" !
We can create this centerline from this area !
From this origin point (click) to the right !
Click !
We can press "ESC" !
Then, define its length !
"Smart Dimension" !
For this line (click) ! Input "150" and press "Enter" !
"ESC" !
So, We will use this centerline to adjust the image size to get the proportional size.
After We created this centerline, We can double click this image !
Until it was showing some edge points like this and the property manager was changed to be like this.
Then, We can click & hold this corner point and adjust its size following this construction line as the boundary !
So, We can assuming that this point as the center point of this circle shape of this handle.
Approximately like this !
Ok.
This image still need to be wider at this side.
We can adjust this point again !
Ok.
So, We can adjusting this image position approximately to be like this !
Then, after We get a proportional image size,
We can click "Ok" !
Then, We can exit from this sketching position !
Then, We will create a new plane first.
We can press "CTRL+7" for "Isometric" !
And We can press "ESC" first to clear this selection, "ESC" !
Now, We will creating a new plane !
"Features" !
"Reference Geometry" !
"Plane" !
For the "First Reference", We can use "Top Plane" !
So this is for the length of this circle shape to the top.
So, to make this handle not placed directly at the Top Plane as the base of the height.
Then, We can define "35" for the distance this new plane !
"Enter" !
So, this new plane will be placed above the Top Plane with 35 mm distance.
Then, click "Ok" !
Now, We can hide this "Plane1", right click !
"Hide" !
Then, We can creating a new sketch on the "Plane1" !
Right click the "Plane1" !
"Sketch" !
Press "CTRL+8" for "Normal To" !
Then, We can start sketching following this reference image using "3 Point Arc" command !
Zoom !
create like this !
Then, create this geometry again for this contour !
Ok, approximately like this !
Then, for the bottom contour !
Then, for this one !
Ok, We can press "ESC" now !
Now, We should to adjust these sketch relations.
Click this line !
Press & hold "CTRL" !
Then, click this one !
Release the "CTRL" !
Then, We can select "Tangent" to make them to be smooth, not create a step like this !
"Tangent" !
"ESC" !
For this bottom too !
Click !
"CTRL" !
Click !
Release !
Then, click "Tangent" !
"ESC" !
Ok, We can adjust this point position !
Approximately like this !
Ok, press "ESC" !
Then, We can create some construction lines.
Activate "Centerline" command !
So, from this point !
To this point !
Then, We can double click our cursor !
To stop the continuous centerline creation.
Then, We can click this point !
To this point, click !
Then, from this point to this point !
"ESC" !
Ok, so We already get the sketch geometry like this.
Then We can create a "Circle" !
Let's say from this area !
"ESC" !
Then, make this circle to be construction line, click this circle !
Then, We can check the "For construction" setting !
So, like this.
"ESC" !
Then, We can create a new centerline !
From this point !
To this area !
Make sure it will be horizontal, click !
Then, We can double click to stop creating a continuous centerline like this !
Then create it again from this point !
To the midpoint of this centerline geometry, it should to be like this, click !
Then, We can press "ESC" !
Then We can adding some dimension ! "Smart Dimension" !
For this one, click !
Drag !
Input "6" !
"Enter" !
Ok, We can undo first, "CTRL+Z" !
Let this dimension same with this initial dimension first for now !
"Smart Dimension" !
Now, We can add the dimension for the length first.
So, click this point !
To this point, click !
Drag it down !
"150" !
To avoid the model shape change too extremely.
"Enter" !
And then, We want to add a dimension for this one !
"20" !
This radius !
Input "70" and "Enter" !
Then, for this middle one, We can input "18" !
Then for this top radius "60" !
"Enter" !
And then, for this one ! Input "250" then "Enter" !
Then, for this bottom input "205" !
"Enter" !
Then, We can double click this one !
"6" !
Then double click this "150" ! Change it become "135" then "Enter" !
And then, We can add the dimension for this horizontal center line !
"150" !
"Enter" !
And then, We can press "ESC" !
Then select this end point with this point (click) !
Don't forget to press & hold "CTRL" !
Then, We can click this "Vertical" !
So, to make it to representing the overall length.
Press "ESC" !
Then, We can create a new "Centerline" !
From this midpoint !
To this area !
Ok, approximately like this, then double click !
Then, from this midpoint !
To this area !
Like this !
"ESC" !
So, this new centerlines We will use them for creating a new planes.
So, as the reference when creating our next planes.
Then, We can make these lines to be perpendicular each other !
Select this centerline and this one too !
Don't forget to press & hold "CTRL" !
So these 2 centerline sketch, We will make them to be "Perpendicular" !
Then, We can click "Equal" relations too, to make they having the same length !
"Equal" !
Then, press "ESC" !
And then, for this line !
Press & hold "CTRL" !
Then, this line !
We can make them "Perpendicular" !
"Equal" !
Then, We can press "ESC" !
Then, click this line !
And this one too !
Just click the "Perpendicular" relation for them !
So, it will looks like this.
And then, We can press "ESC" !
Then, activate the "Smart Dimension" again !
From this line !
To this one !
Click !
"60" !
And for this line !
To this horizontal centerline !
"65" !
Then, from this line !
To this one !
Input "100" !
"Enter" !
And then, We can define this circle diameter dimension, input "23" for it !
And then, We can press "ESC" !
Then, We can try to click & hold this centerpoint of this circle ! Then drag it like this !
Ok, so right here We already get the fixed shape of this sketch geometry.
We just need to set the position, place it to this origin point like this !
Release !
Then, We can activate the "Smart Dimension" command again !
From this point !
To this point !
Drag it to the right !
Click !
"13" !
"Enter" !
"ESC" !
Ok, so right now We already get the "Fully Defined Sketch" or a complete sketch.
We can exit, click this "Exit Edit Sketch" !
Then, We can hide this sketch !
Right click at the "Sketch1" !
"Hide" !
So, right now We already get the main sketch.
And then, We will create some sketch profile for each segment of this geometry.
For creating a new sketch profile, We should to have the sketch media (plane) first around this area !
This area too !
And this one too !
And now, We can create some plane first !
"Features" !
"Plane" !
For the "First Reference", We can select this sketch point !
Then, click this line for the "Second Reference" !
By selecting these 2 items (point & line), it will automatically create an perpendicular plane.
And then, We can click "Ok" !
Then, We can press "ESC" !
Then, create a new "Plane" again !
For this point ! And this line !
"Ok" !
"ESC" !
Create a new "Plane" again !
Click this point !
And click this line !
"Ok" !
"ESC" !
Ok, after We get the items like this, then We can create a new sketch profile on the "Plane2" !
Right click at the "Plane2" !
"Sketch" !
We can press "CTRL+8" !
We can rotate the view just a little bit, like this !
Ok.
Now, We can create a new "Ellipse" sketch !
We can create at the free area first like this (it wasn't too necessary), click !
Click !
Click !
"ESC" !
Then, We can adding a sketch relation.
Click this point !
Press & hold "CTRL" !
Then, click this line !
Release the "CTRL" !
So, We already selected this point (from the active sketch) with the line from the previous sketch.
Now, We can add the "Pierce" relation, to make them coincident between this point will intersecting this line !
"Pierce" !
So, like this.
"ESC" !
Then, for the other side !
This point !
And this line !
Release the "CTRL" !
"Pierce" !
"ESC" !
So, the ellipse width has already defined, now for its height.
"Smart Dimension" !
This point ! With this point !
Click !
"5" !
"Enter" !
"ESC" !
This sketch has fully defined right now.
"ESC" again !
We can click "Exit Edit Sketch" !
And now, We can create a new sketch on the "Plane3" !
Right click the "Plane3" !
Create a new "Sketch" !
As same as with the previous, We can draw an "Ellipse" too !
From this free area first, click !
Click !
Click !
"ESC" !
This point !
With this line !
Release the "CTRL" !
"Pierce" !
Then, for this point !
With this line !
Release the "CTRL" !
"Pierce" !
"ESC" !
Then, activate the "Smart Dimension" !
We can click this point !
And this point !
We can input "14" !
"Enter" !
"ESC" !
"ESC" again !
Nah, this sketch was already fully defined.
We can exit, click this "Exit Edit Sketch" !
Then, We can create a new sketch on the "Plane4" !
Right click the "Plane4" !
"Sketch" !
Create an "Ellipse" again !
From this area !
This !
And this !
"ESC" !
Select this point !
With this line !
"Pierce" !
Then, this point !
With this line !
Release the "CTRL" !
"Pierce" !
Ok, "ESC" !
Then, We can activate the "Smart Dimension" !
Input "15" for this point ! With this bottom point, click !
Click !
"15" !
"Enter" !
"ESC" !
"ESC" again !
Then, We can click "Exit Edit Sketch" !
So, right here We already got these 3 main sketch profiles, and also these curvature lines.
And then, We can hide this "Plane 4 - 2" first !
So, We can click the "Plane2" right here !
Press & hold "Shift" !
Then, We can click the "Plane4" !
Nah, it was selecting all of them between the "Plane2 & Plane4" features.
Then, release the "Shift" !
We can right click !
"Hide" !
In the previous video, We already learned about "Lofted",
And We can use the "Lofted Boss/Base" feature again for this !
For the "Profile" field, We can select the smallest profile first !
Better to click at the same point with the next 2 profiles !
Let's say We can select this bottom point, click !
Then, for the second sketch profile, We can also select its bottom point, click !
As same as for the third, click !
So, like this.
But, the geometry that will be created based on this preview, it just go straight through these 3 profiles,
Meanwhile We want the geometry will following this curves sketch line too.
To do that, We can use this "Guide Curve" field also, over here.
So, this "Guide Curve" settings is also usable for creating the other curvy products like bottles and else.
Now, We can click at this field first until it was shown with the blue highlighted color like this !
And then, We can select any lines or sketches that representing this "Guide Curve" settings !
We can click this line !
It's just selecting 1 single line.
Then, We can click this line too !
After We selecting these 2 sketch lines, We can click "Ok" at the "Selection Manager" dialog box that appear !
Nah, why it was showing the "Selection Manager" dialog box ?
It's because We were created this support lines / guide curve in one sketch command.
So, in this sketch contains 2 contours like this.
This contour.
And this one.
That's why We can select both of them directly, We should to select them one by one.
So, one guide curve for one contour and so on.
That's why it was showing the "Selection Manager" dialog box before.
And if You want to showing the "Selection Manager" manually, We can right click at this area !
Or at this area too !
Right click !
Then click the "Selection Manager" !
So this "Selection Manager" used for selecting a specific contour in the sketch that having multiple contours in it.
Ok, after We activating this "Selection Manager" box, then We can select this "Select Group" option !
So, which contours group that We want to select ?
This one !
And this one too !
So, We already selected these 2 sketch lines into one group.
After We've been selected these lines, We can click "Ok" at the "Selection Manager" dialog box !
Nah, it will read as one contour group at this "Guide Curve" field.
So We already have 2 guide curves "Open Group 2 & Open Group 1".
And now, We already get a model preview like this using this "Guide Curve" settings.
So, With 3 sketch profiles like this plus these 2 guide curves, it will resultings a geometry like this.
After We get the correct preview, We can click "Ok" !
Then, We can press "ESC" to clear all of selected items !
So, right here We already get the top main geometry of our handle model.
And then, We can create this one.
Right click at the "Sketch1" !
"Show" !
Nah, We will to create this circle bottom geometry.
Then, We can hide the "Sketch1" again !
Right click then click "Hide" !
Then, We can create a new sketch on the "Top Plane" !
Right click the "Top Plane" !
"Sketch" !
After We activating sketch on the "Top Plane", We can use the circle sketch that We've been created before.
We can search our previous sketch inside the "Lofted1" feature over here !
Click this small arrow !
Then, We can right click at this "Sketch2" !
We can click "Show" !
So, this is the previous circle sketch.
So, We will using this circle sketch as a reference for creating a new same circle sketch on the "Top Plane".
We can use "Convert Entities" command !
Then, click this previous construction geometry "Circle" sketch !
Then, We can click "Ok" !
So, it has created a new sketch that have a same shape with this previous circle sketch on the "Top Plane".
Ok, so We can click "Exit Edit Sketch" !
Then, We can hide the "Sketch2" again, right click the "Sketch2" !
"Hide" !
Then We can collapse this feature, click this arrow !
And then, We will use this circle sketch profile with this ellipse edge profile.
So, lofted feature not only use the sketches profiles. But We can also use the sketch profile with the edge profile.
So, We not only should to use the sketch profiles for the lofted feature.
We can also using an profile edges from the 3d geometry that already created with the sketch profile.
Or using some profile edges that already created too.
So, it's some benefits of the "Lofted" feature.
Then, We can use "Lofted Boss/Base" feature again !
And for the "Profile" field, We can select the circle sketch profile over here, click !
Then, We can select this profile edge from our 3d model, click !
Nah, the preview has appeared, but it's just going straight toward.
But, We want the lofted geometry that start from this edge to be smooth, not stepped like this.
To do that, We can go to this "Start/End Constraint" column !
Because the first profile that We selected is this sketch profile, so this is will act as the "Start".
And this profile edge as the "End".
Then, We can click this "Start/End Constraint" settings to expand !
So We can adjust our setting for our "Start" profile (the circle sketch profile) at this "Start" field.
We can click this "None" option at the "Start" field !
Then, We can select the "Normal To Profile" option !
So for the "Start" profile, it will be lofted "normal to" with this circle sketch (perpendicular with its sketch plane).
It's because We created this sketch on the "Top Plane",
so the "Normal To" direction which perpendicular with the "Top Plane" is along the "Y" axis.
So, it will creating the "Start" geometry that "Normal To" (Perpendicular) with its own sketch plane, like this.
Ok, so We already defined the "Start" option.
Then, We will define the "End" settings, We can click this "End" field option !
Then, We can select the "Tangency To Face" option !
It's to make these "End" geometry to be "Tangent" with its own surface from our selected edge.
And for this "Tangency To Face" only can be used if We select an edge for our lofted profile.
If We use a "Sketch", We can't use the "Tangency To Face" option.
So it's only can be used if We select an edge for our lofted profile.
Then, We can see the preview has already correct.
But, We can try to click this "Next Face" first to knowing its function !
Ok, it's changing the reference face that should be "Tangent" with our "End" lofted geometry, like this.
But, We don't want this, So We can click the "Next Face" again to change the "Tangency To Face" reference !
Ok, so like this.
And then, We can edit this field as the "Start/End" percentage value !
We can try to increase the percentage amount by clicking its arrow like this !
Let's say, We can double click this field !
Type "2" !
So, using "2" percentage it will create the tangent geometry more longer like this.
We can define this percentage value as We want.
Let's say, We want to change it to "4", like this !
But for this "End" field, We just need to input "1" !
And as same as with this one too.
We can input "2" for this field !
So, like this.
So, We can change also this value to "2" !
"Enter" !
So, it will resulting a geometry like this using this "Start/End" constraint settings.
For this field, We can change it to "1" !
And change this field too become "1" !
Sorry, for this second field, I think it's better to use "2" !
So, like this.
Ok, so right here We already get the right preview like this.
And if you want to set the angle, You can use this settings, like this !
But, We don't want to adjust it, so We should to set the value back to "0" !
After We get the correct preview, We can click "Ok" over here !
Ok, We can press "ESC" !
We can press "CTRL+7" for "Isometric" !
Then, We can applying a "Fillet" !
Make sure We are in the "Manual" tab !
Then, We can select the general fillet option first, click this "Constant Size Fillet" !
And for the "Item To Fillet" field, We can select this edge, click !
Then, We can input "2" for the fillet value !
"Enter" !
So, the preview was correct, We can click "Ok" now !
Ok, so right here We already get the main geometry of the handle from our "Door Handle" images that We want.
We can press "CTRL+7" !
Ok, So We can save this model !
"CTRL+S" !
We can named it with "Handle" !
"Save" !
Ok, I think it's enough for this video.
