Chapter 6: Basic Secondary Multi-Sketch Features
While the most basic SOLIDWORKS features require that only one sketch is made, others require more than that so that more complex shapes can be modeled. In this chapter, we will cover essential multi-sketch features, such as swept boss and swept cut, and lofted boss and lofted cut. In addition to that, we will define some new planes that are completely different than the default ones.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Reference geometries – additional planes
- Understanding and applying swept boss and swept cut
- Understanding and applying lofted boss and lofted cut
By the end of this chapter, we will be able to create complex-looking 3D models compared to what we have built already. They will also enable us to create irregular shapes compared to the previous chapter.
