SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial 60: FreeForm tool Video Lecture | SolidWorks: Essential Training (All Commands included) - IT & Software

this tutorial we're going to talk about
the next feature the free form the free
form is your first step toward the
complicated surface modeling so now we
create the dome here on that surface and
we created a rap and they are quite
uniform shaping but what if you want to
create your own shaping to the surface
is some kind of curves Bob Aries or
whatever so just try to do this on that
face by using the freeform tool go to
the Elser feature three four
so select first the face do you want to
make your freeform and then you will
need reference lines and points where
you're going to make your deformation so
first let's add line you can add that
line or curves by ad curves they are
control curves so if you move on your
surface you will see that you are able
to create this line if you flip the
direction you make relies on the other
side yes
flip direction let's make two lines and
after creating your curves or lands you
need points a order to be manipulating
them so what to add points move for your
lines but if you move and other knives
you are not able to at any point just
new inserted caps so let's add point
here one point here
let's add one back here so you are done
you can go to the deactivate point add
points and now select your line if you
click on that point you see three hours
these two hours you will be able to
remove your points so here you make a
deformation that side on that side or
make it upward so here we have your free
to formation let's move to next one and
by the same way you can make that
deformation now go to this line to be
sure that we are activating there and we
are able to show the coordinating or
controlling I'm sorry we got a mess here
so we need some practicing to get your
this chip
so it's to work is to join you how you
are able to deal with so when you are
done click okay so you have just kind of
experiment how you can deform your what
so it's quite metallurgical can delete
it so this is the idea how to use free
for and hope this tutorial is useful
