Learn 3D Drawing Basics 1 00:00:09,660 –> 00:00:15,180 To create this part in 3D, we will simply need polylines. 2 00:00:15,980 –> 00:00:20,360 You will see in this video how they will be converted into three-dimensional elements 3 00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:23,820 with commands such as Extrude and Revolve. 4 00:00:24,260 –> 00:00:27,620 In this example, we can see several rectangles. 5 00:00:27,860 –> 00:00:31,439 A rectangle is a certain kind of a closed polyline. 6 00:00:31,600 –> 00:00:33,160 Here is one, 7 00:00:33,320 –> 00:00:34,460 here another … 8 00:00:34,580 –> 00:00:38,180 and here are more rectangles – in total we have six. 9 00:00:38,240 –> 00:00:40,160 Here we have a circle 10 00:00:41,680 –> 00:00:45,920 and on the other side we have two closed polylines. 11 00:00:47,20 –> 00:00:49,500 Let’s now create this part in 3D. 12 00:00:51,80 –> 00:00:55,300 We first work with this rectangle, whose corners should

Make changes to the external drawing 1 00:00:08,920 –> 00:00:10,720 We are working with this wooden bike 2 00:00:10,840 –> 00:00:14,420 which is not only a toy, but also a mechanical project. 3 00:00:14,580 –> 00:00:19,80 In previous videos, we saw how to create the saddle and its structure 4 00:00:19,280 –> 00:00:21,340 as well as wheels, 5 00:00:23,140 –> 00:00:26,380 frame, fork, and handlebar of this bike. 6 00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:30,620 The wheels are inserted in this drawing as external references. 7 00:00:30,700 –> 00:00:35,379 But the remaining parts of the bicycle are created directly in this drawing. 8 00:00:35,800 –> 00:00:42,80 To finalize the wheel we will open the wheel file to make the changes directly in this external drawing (XREF). 9 00:00:42,240 –> 00:00:47,720 As a result, the changes will appear

Working with the Frame of 3D Model 1 00:00:09,340 –> 00:00:14,40 In this video we will create the frame and the fork of the wooden bicycle. 2 00:00:15,660 –> 00:00:22,360 To create this part of the structure we just need a closed polyline describing the outline of this shape. 3 00:00:22,700 –> 00:00:26,119 And then these circles to create the holes in it. 4 00:00:26,320 –> 00:00:31,160 The method we will use here is to redraw the outline of this figure. 5 00:00:31,880 –> 00:00:34,540 So, let’s select the polyline function. 6 00:00:35,180 –> 00:00:37,171 We can start here. 7 00:00:38,980 –> 00:00:42,199 In this case we need an arc in this section. 8 00:00:42,820 –> 00:00:46,420 For that we chose the option ARC with the “A” key 9 00:00:47,100 –> 00:00:49,380 and simply

Create 3D Solids with the REVOLVE command 1 00:00:08,540 –> 00:00:13,719 In this video, we concentrate on the wheel. We will build it in 2 stages. 2 00:00:13,920 –> 00:00:19,800 This video is focused on the first stage, that is to say the design of the “rim” and the “tire” – 3 00:00:19,940 –> 00:00:23,180 two solids created with the command REVOLVE. 4 00:00:23,540 –> 00:00:28,480 To create these solids by revolution we need 2 closed polylines. 5 00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:34,20 One closed polyline will be used to create the rim 6 00:00:34,200 –> 00:00:37,50 and another one to create the tire. 7 00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:43,290 To create these polylines, we use the basic drawing and editing 2D commands. 8 00:00:43,290 –> 00:00:48,390 We start by creating a graphical reference – a rectangle. 9

Getting started With 3D modeling 1 00:00:09,80 –> 00:00:14,40 This video is one out of four explaining how to create this wooden toy. 2 00:00:14,220 –> 00:00:20,620 This series will illustrate how to potentially create any 3D element – especially with solids. 3 00:00:21,20 –> 00:00:26,720 In this drawing we see the scheme of the wooden toy that we’re creating in 3D. 4 00:00:26,920 –> 00:00:32,120 These are simple entities such as rectangles, circles and ellipses 5 00:00:32,420 –> 00:00:40,200 There are also some more complex figures which combine lines and arcs to create  closed polylines of singular shapes. 6 00:00:40,440 –> 00:00:45,59 The goal of each shape is to create a single closed polyline. 7 00:00:45,280 –> 00:00:51,760 This is crucial to create a three dimensional solid – using commands such as Extrude

Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ CDS solver, ARES Commander 2015 allows you to define geometric or dimensional constraints to add intelligence to your drawings and keep the design intent while modifying your drawings. Fixing constraints in DWG. 1 00:00:09,60 –> 00:00:12,400 ARES Commander 2015 is getting even smarter 2 00:00:12,580 –> 00:00:19,20 thanks to the tools that allow us to assign parameters to “parts” of the drawing or the drawing in general. 3 00:00:19,340 –> 00:00:23,740 In this example, we have a mechanical part containing various constraints, 4 00:00:23,900 –> 00:00:27,419 which are assigned to different elements of a drawing 5 00:00:28,320 –> 00:00:30,360 By changing this value 6 00:00:30,780 –> 00:00:33,560 or this value, you change the drawing. 7 00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:39,800 The CONSTRAINT we have here allows us to determine the
