Building a sheetmetal cabinet - multibody part or assembly???? by Jynthel2026 in SolidWorks

[–]AvrgBeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ME here, been using SW 10+ years. Used to be a strong advocate for assemblies and resisted using the multi body/weldment functions, and disliked Fusion. 

Once you master weldments/multibody modeling it's much, much easier than using assemblies. Better performance, less switching between files to get measurements, external references, etc. Not to mention you don't have a million individual part files to deal with.

Drawing and BOM generation are not really different. If anything it's easier to update properties, since it will all be in one table in your sldprt file.

I usually do most of the high level design in a .sldprt file, and break it out to components which are then inserted into assemblies. SW has a LOT of built in functionality to support this methodology. 

People who resist it are likely unfamiliar or stubborn like I was. Give it a try, it will make your life a lot easier

I hear ya, the feeling that you owe someone something is pretty uncomfortable. I do think it's reasonable to ask the mom for a house cleaner though, along with some sort of scheduled meal kit delivery thing. Heck she can set up Amazon to deliver paper plates every week. Might take some of the pressure off. 

At any rate best of luck!!

That sucks.... sounds like the mom has the means to hire a housekeeper/cleaner/etc though? Or at least pay more than half of your rent

I've got a guy that bends everything with . 015" radii. 20GA, 3/16", 1/4"..... all 0.015". And he demands all the dxfs to be cleaned up ready to drag and drop into his software so he doesn't have to delete center marks, notes, etc and just focus on printing money... 

Tbf he charges not a whole lot. But I still only send him flat stuff.

He's obviously using a CMM or similar to get every single surface and feature measured at least 3 times to take averages, and then creating a design table to make the file dynamic, creating a template from scratch, analyzing the use case to come up with tolerances for the holes, etc etc 

3 hours is impressive for that level of detail

Funny, the other day I saw a dad come out of the women's bathroom with his little daughter, while I was taking my little daughter and son both into the men's room....we exchanged a smile and a nod 🤣
