👋 Start here — welcome to the Fully Defined community
Hey, I'm Chris — product design engineer with 15+ years in industry, CSWE, and the person behind Fully Defined.
This community exists for one reason: to help you get genuinely good at SolidWorks, from a designer's perspective. Not a textbook perspective, not a mechanical engineering perspective — a product designer's perspective. There's a difference, and it matters.
Here's what you'll find here:
📚 Courses — structured learning, starting from zero
💬 Community — ask questions, share your work, get unstuck
🎥 Content — videos, livestreams, and resources that go beyond the YouTube channel
Where to start
There are two ways in, depending on how you like to learn:
- Learn by doing — start with the LEGO CAD Library. You'll build real parts from day one, develop parametric thinking naturally, and not even realise how much you're picking up. No pressure, just progress.
- Learn by structure — start with SolidWorks for Designers, available here in Skool. It's a linear path from the SolidWorks interface through to CSWA exam preparation, built around a single project that accumulates across every section.
Either way, both paths lead to the same place — confident, capable SolidWorks skills from a designer's perspective. A third step is in the works. I'll let you know when it's ready.
A few things worth knowing:
> Ask anything.
If you're stuck, post it. The only bad question is the one you didn't ask because you thought it was too simple.
> Share your work.
Models, sketches, screenshots — even the messy ones. That's how you get useful feedback.
> This is a practitioner's community. Come here to improve, and you will.
Drop a comment below and introduce yourself — where you're at with SolidWorks, what you're working on, or what brought you here. I read every one.
— Chris
