Malcolm Crowe Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) The intent of the attached document “Structured Parts – Key Differences” is to provide a basic understanding of "Structured Part Modelling". Within the videos of the following posts, I’ve tried to convey the basic concepts in a clear way (such as Sketch Positioning, Features and Bodies), while also trying to provide a little “taste” of how Datums, 3D Curves and Surfaces can be included for construction purposes. I've also tried to demonstrate how to use the Feature Structure (Rollback State) to create the desired associations, as well as demonstrating how to work with multiple Bodies. 01 - Coordinate System 02 - Bodies and Features 03 - Edit Sketch Position (Positioning Shapes) 04 - Edit Sketch Cross-Section (Profile) 05 - Datum Plane for Draft Neutral Plane 06 - Mirroring Bodies using Datum Planes 07 - Creating and Positioning Another Body 08 - Adding Datum Axis for Circular Pattern of Feature 09 - Splitting Body using 3D Curve and Surface Body 10 - Setting Different Colors to Bodies 11 - Using Datum Planes for Trimming “Structured Part Modelling” is really important for creating complex Multi-Bodied models (which can't be created as "Innovative Parts"). Having said that, the multi-bodied part in the following demonstration videos is not a complex model. This is simply to demonstrate some basic concepts. There is a separate forum post regarding real world "Structured Parts - Examples".
