Learn how to turn basic 2D sketches into 3D objects.
- [Speaker] The Extrude feature is one of the…biggest workhorses inside of SolidWorks.…We use that pretty much all the time to create…majority of the geometry you're probably…going to be designing inside of SolidWorks.…It basically takes a sketch with an enclosed boundary…and it just defines how far…we want to pull that into a 3D space.…To get started, let's go ahead and just create a sketch,…I'm going to choose the top plane here…and let's just create some geometry,…how about a circle?…Hook a circle on the origin and go ahead…and just click on Extruded Boss/Base…under the Features menu and go ahead and choose the…Extruded Boss/Base under the Features tab…and then go ahead and just drag that up.…
Now we have a couple options here,…I can click on this arrow and drag it up if I want to…and notice I get this little in context ruler…that kind of shows up where I'm dragging…or just type in a value here.…So let's type in 3.0.…Now again this is pretty straight forward…but we have a few more options inside of the…Boss Extrude feature.…

10/31/2017First, see how to create two-dimensional sketches that become the foundation for 3D objects. Next, look at extruding and revolving 3D features; creating complex objects using the Sweep, Loft, and Surface tools; and modifying parts. Learn how to create uniform holes with the Hole Wizard, and explore more advanced modeling techniques using equations, mirroring, and pattern tools. Then review best practices for putting parts together in assemblies and building robust structures. The course wraps up tips for creating detailed drawings that relate the final parts and assemblies to a manufacturer, complete with an itemized bill of materials and drawing notes.
