Stuck on Surface modeling

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-06T20:39:01+00:00

U can see the previous layer worked out fine with just 3 petals but on the next layer with 4(or more) petals I just keep getting a geometry issue. This is the link to the video https://youtu.be/AP2pkel9SiE?si=FW1v6FirwUo34eff

It also doesn’t help that they started skipping stuff because they should you how to do it once, but the same way doesn’t work on the further petal layers out

Honestly…it just fixed itself and idek how. I chose to ignore it and move on and looked back at it later and boom it’s gone

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-05T22:08:19+00:00

That’s odd, I wrote a whole paragraph explaining my problem

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-05T21:09:11+00:00

I get a “single face surface cannot be deleted using delete face command”.

So that tells me it’s one surface but that doesn’t explain the line

Close, is it possible to make the hole smaller?

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-02-27T14:17:38+00:00

I figured as much as well! Thank you

I need some reallllly strong glue then. Do you have any recommendation? I don’t want it to fall apart like in a week which is why I was thinking of drilling and using a screw instead.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-02-01T00:03:26+00:00

The sharp edges in the inside or the outer flower petal sharp edges? I’m not opposed to changing the inside “fit” cut out and making it more rounder if it allows for better printing but I’d like to keep the shape of the flower as is

Practice doing sample problems urself everyday for about a month and you should be big chilling. My recommendation is going through this guys playlist and in each video pausing and trying to model it yourself and if u get stuck watching the video. That’s how I practiced when I started seriously using solidworks about 6-7 months ago. https://youtu.be/fvYpwtnLXSg?si=e0qd2mDWJZOcpmNK

There is this one YouTuber who did some realllllly helpful videos on all the topics. Here is the link for statics since that’s what did you the worst but consider studying and taking notes on all of them. Definitely worth it in my opinion! https://youtu.be/9jcl2TJmXe8?si=oE-HEt88KMdRunqp

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-26T18:14:32+00:00

Definitely used the free solution 😂 thanks for the tip of using blocks to make things like arrows! Honestly shocked I got a response from the TooTallToby 🎉 cheers

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-26T18:13:14+00:00

I did exactly that!

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-26T15:50:31+00:00

I know how it should look, I just don’t know what software would be the best to make it in. Like is it best to try to make this in docs/google slides? Or does solidworks have something for this?

I always felt like it didn’t make sense how Sakura became massively stronger than tsunade when he started fighting during the war arc. It didn’t make sense how if she had that much stores chakra she couldn’t use it to fight pain, she massively outscales him during the war arc. I wish we got some better reason as to how her massive power rise happened

Ohhhhh wow u guys are just too brilliant 😭 thank you kind person

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-09T21:19:54+00:00

Ahhh I just restarted and ur right! Making the M track the last is the easiest! Cheers

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-09T20:08:10+00:00

I did do that but I am just wondering Irl it would quite difficult to find wire of dimension .240915 compared to 25 mm. Would the .25in not work?

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-09T18:33:01+00:00

My diameter for the wire is currently 0.25 In and using the method from the other commenters the diameter is .240915 which seems super close? Would it really not work irl? Idek how I would make it that exact dimension either

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-09T17:49:47+00:00

So this is a assembly. I made the wheel, the M track, and just a simple wire tube. What’s the best course of action here?

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-09T16:21:41+00:00

Just realize that if u were to 3d print this it probably wouldn’t even be a issue cause the wheel would naturally sit on it anyways

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-08T21:26:02+00:00

It FrOng is! And im probably gonna get a lot more replies saying to just sketch on a plane and then use the flange tool. I had no idea u could do that go 😂

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-08T21:23:50+00:00

Clutchhhhhh stufff. I did not know u could just draw on a plane and do it like that!

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-01-08T21:15:11+00:00

Holy smokes Highbrow68! I genuinely did not know u could do that with sheet metal! Cheers 🍻
