SOLIDWORKS, Part 4

Hello again everybody!

Here is another example of using Reference Planes, to construct at an angle with respect to another body.

Sometimes Reference Planes can be a little tricky, especially if you would like it both offset and at an angle from another reference point. We will cover more of that later.


As you can see from the above Isometric view point. We have used the powerful Shell feature in order to shell the inside of an original extrusion made from a simple rectangle. This is easily accomplished by selecting "Shell", from the Features Toolbar, and simply selecting the top surface of the rectangle and specifying the Shell thickness.
