In this tutorial, we use the SurfaceWorks-SolidWorks combination to create a spoon holder — one you might keep on your stove while cooking (see figure at right). The key here is change: the model is constructed so that everything can be adjusted until the optimal design is achieved. Concept and Function introductions: ? For nicely rounded ends, make last 2 control points perpendicular to end ? Select>Current Layer Filter ? Use a single curve in various forms as the lofting curves for lofted surfaces to guarantee that the curves all have the same parametric velocity resulting in a smoother surface shape. The basic steps: • We begin with a .SLDPRT model composed of the planes and a sketch that will generate the spoon holder surface. • In SurfaceWorks, we construct the supports for three surfaces, building in relationships that allow great freedom in refining the shape of the spoon holder. We then stitch the three surfaces together so they will be transferred into SolidWorks as a solid. Adding SurfaceWorks Parents : 1 Start SolidWorks and Open SpoonHolderStart.sldprt from \Integrated Tutorials. 2 Save this file as SpoonHolder.sldprt ‘Sketch1′, ‘Plane4′, ‘Plane5′ and ‘Plane6′ have already been added as SurfaceWorks parents. 3 In the FeatureManager, click on each of them and note what they look like in the model Sketch1 is a line that lies in Plane6; Plane6 is at an angle from the orizontal; Plane4 and Plane5 are perpendicular to Plane6. 4 Choose SurfaceWorks>Modeler. Make the Initial Control Curve What you see here in SurfaceWorks are the SolidWorks planes and the endpoints of the line since we won’t be needing it, we’ve already hidden the line. Shape the Curve Select>Current Layer Filter to turn on the Current Layer Filter. The number of the current layer is displayed at the left end of the right side of the Status Bar, in this case L:1. Selecting now is restricted to entities on Layer 1 — in the Available Entities pane, only the five points and B-spline curve are listed (as well as the default entities). SolidWorks entities come into SurfaceWorks on layer 0, and new SurfaceWorks entities are placed on layer 1.
