Reverse engineering complex surface
Hi Chris! I have seen the notifications for the next Livestream Design + Q&A on 16th April! Currently I faced a challenge reverse engineering this part in Solidworks especially capturing those curved geometry accurately! Can you talk about this on your next livestream :)

@Edward Zacharia can you tell me some dimensions for the part? how big is the large hole? what is the dimension center to center for the screw bosses?

Sorry @Edward Zacharia I've had to cancel my livestream tonight as I need to rest my voice. But I still plan on making a tutorial showing how to use your example. If I finish it tonight I'll post it here
How to use sketches for CAD layout
Hope everyone has been doing well! I've been a bit quiet but had a good live stream this week where I demonstrated how you can use simple sketch geometry to layout your design. Check out the video below. Still a bit of work to do to finish my medicine storage, perhaps that will be in the next stream. As always, I'd love to answer your questions or model issues. If you need help with something, let me know! Have a great week

End of week recap 01/03
Hello All, Super busy time of year for Design work! - Draft SolidWorks Fundamentals book is out for testing/feedback - Freelance client project Phase 2 has been approved and commenced (see video posted yesterday) - Too many ideas for content and not enough time for editing! - Projects in my FT Quad Lock role are fully ramped up - I have meetings to come with CEO & VP of Product at Thule (our parent company) later this week while they visit to Melbourne Regrettably it means progress on content here is a bit slower but I hope to give you whatever insights I can to the real world projects as they move forward. But still - time for livestream this Thursday night! If you have any questions you'd like me to answer on stream, let me know in the comments!

Real world Design work
I have some client work! I don't advertise, so it's a bit rare, but I've agreed to work with a previous client on a new product of theirs. Here is a quick example of how I'm using SolidWorks to set the foundations for the Product Design. If you like this and want to see more, let me know in the comments. I can keep you updated during the projects progression.

What happened in the last week 22/02
Hey everyone - did you have a productive week? I was reasonably pleased with my progress. I finished editing the Appearances Masterclass and published that to YouTube - it's doing just ok so far. The livestream moved to Thursday night and went much better than expected, with a good amount of viewers and people jumping in the chat! Thanks if you were one of them. I felt comfortable with the 'live design' style, so I will keep it for a while. Other than those, I made some more progress on a freelance project and getting the SolidWorks Fundamentals book out to a few people for testing. If you are interested to learn more, send me a message. Looking forward to the week ahead and breaking down the LEGO Motorcycle assembly classes into smaller chunks.
