From the course: SOLIDWORKS 2018 Essential Training
Surface tools
- [Instructor] In this example, we're going to be taking a look at some of these surface tools that are available in SolidWorks. Now, this is only going to be a very brief introduction to some of the tools, and if you're interested in more surfacing tools, we have an entire course on the LinkedIn library. Now, first things first. Let's make sure we have the Surfaces toolbar turned on. So, come up here, click on any one of these available tabs, right-click, and make sure you do have this Surfaces turned on. I already have it turned on, so if you turned it off, go ahead and click on it and then turn it right back on, and the first thing we want to do is the Extrude Surface, so click on Extrude Surface, come out here, and choose any one of these sketches that I already have, and you can just drag that out, very similar to a regular Extrude. You also have the option of going in the other direction. Just drag it out. You can type in the values, you can choose how you want to end that…
