Tutorials

Lantern

Build a hexagonal lantern from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers the Polygon tool, stacked construction planes, a drafted extrusion, shelling by picked faces, projecting a face and offsetting it into a window, a circular Repeat of a cut, and a Loft roof.

Ice Cube Tray

Build a parametric ice cube tray. Covers draft cuts, filleting, linear patterns, shelling, edge selection, and sweeps.

Upper Alignment Clamp

Build an upper alignment clamp from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers the rounded Rectangle and Slot tools, sketching on a face, section views, symmetric extrusions and cuts, projecting a model edge in as reference geometry, a tangent web from Tangent/Concentric/Equal picks, and three kinds of mirror.

Gear Housing

Build a gear housing. Covers filleting, angled chamfers, multi-level extrusions, draft cuts, arc profiles, rounded rectangles, drilling, counterbores, circular copy patterns, and mirror symmetry.

CSWP Sample Exam

Build the parametric part from the SolidWorks CSWP sample exam. Covers arc/offset geometry, reference planes, hollow pipes, chamfers, counterbores, face projection, and edge selection.

Grooved Box

Build a grooved storage box from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers the centered rounded Rectangle, shelling, internal fillets, tangent face selections, two Intersect profiles, thin symmetric cuts, and centered linear repeats.

Flange With Notch

Build a flange with a notch as a screenshot walkthrough of the workspace. Covers a tangent tab from a rough sketch plus Tangent, Concentric, Symmetric and a typed radius, the 2D Mirror tool, sketching on faces, the centered Rectangle, and shallow Remove cuts for the notch and counterbores.

Hinge Bracket

Build a hinge bracket. Covers reused path sketches, thin symmetric extrusions, edge projection, face-based sketching, curvature-based face selection, chamfering, shelling, and projected ribs.

L-Stub

Build an L-shaped stub bracket. Covers compound profiles with subtract/fuse, thin symmetric cuts driven by guide lines, tangent geometry with selective mirror exclusion, and projecting internal cut faces into a sketch.

Drafted Box

Build a drafted box in inches from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers a centered Rectangle, offset planes, drafted extrudes and a through bore, tangent edge selections, shelling, a constrained rib spine, and a circular Repeat.

3D Printable Desk Organizer

Build a four-compartment octagonal desk organizer from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers constraint sketching with the constraint bar, chamfer and shell, a dimensioned rectangle with an inner offset loop, a rotated construction plane, a patterned rib, and a thin revolve trim cut.

Fork

Build a forked yoke from the UI, step by step with screenshots. Covers Center Arc with a typed angle, the 2D Mirror tool, a construction plane at an offset, mirroring a whole feature with Repeat, projecting a boss rim in as reference geometry, the Polygon tool, and thin-wall cuts that leave the shape inside them standing.

45 Degree Custom Elbow

Build a 45° pipe elbow with two bolt flanges. Covers reused spine sketches, sweeping named sketch regions, boring with a removal sweep, sketching on swept end faces, stepped slot cuts, and circular repeats around a sketch-segment axis.
