Cabinetry in SOLIDWORKS - Part 1

[@TROYOSTRANDER]

0:10 Intro 0:30 Cabinet makers use 2D layouts which represent the shape of the whole design and where the individual cabinets can fit inside. 1:07 Closer look at an individual cabinet (part file) 2:40 Activate assembly sketch layout dimensions and intuitively dragging dimension which in real time updates with whole assembly 😮 2:24 Closer look at whole kitchen (assembly file) 3:11 Closer look at outputs 1. Config to show manufactured model without hardware 2. Drawings 3. Nesting 4:08 Photo rendering

Great stuff! Embarrassed to say I've been using Solidworks in various projects on and off for a decade and have never seen someone use configurations in this manner.!

2:46 How did you do that for exsample, i wanna add something every 650 mm how to set it like you, in linearn pattern?

[@hawkridgesystems]

It's called the "Up to Reference" option in Linear Pattern We have a separate video that covers it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqKTm52ZhN58ibM

2:42 How do you mate cabinets to plan sketches?

[@mathiasbrnder2408]

how did you make the elevation plan so that the part mated with the sides of the elevation plan also changes size? because when i do that, the part does not change size according to the elevation plans dynamic

[@marciopaulo1708]

Does anyone know what it is exactly? Because on the site there are several

[@sandeshsuthar2604]

How did you gave light effect ?? Pls reply fast.....I can't wait🐈🐈

[@hawkridgesystems]

For the Photorender an emissive appearance was defined. When applying an appearance under the advanced tab there are illumination options. help.solidworks.com/2020/english/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_example_emissive_appearances.htm It's important to use the higher quality settings for Photoview in order to get the light to bounce correctly. Alternatively a custom light source such as spot light can be defined directly

Great video, Anyone using Alphacam and know how to bring in the grain direction with the parts or assembly?

[@Sheza58]

wish I could help. We are stuck with Cabinet Vision unfortunately :(

[@MohamedHassan-qk7vk]

Dear Friend, can you explain how did you design this a model.

[@hawkridgesystems]

The model was created using a top-down approach, where each cabinet is driven by the overall layout. Is there any step in particular you wanted more details about?

[@MohamedHassan-qk7vk]

Than you my friend for your interest. Yes please, I need to learning : 1- How to using a top - down approach ? 2- What did you mean " driven by the overall layout"?

[@jurgendorries5763]

Dearest Mohamed I suggest you start from the bottom. Go for a proper apprenticeship in woodworking. Something where you have chance to get your hand really dirty. Next step after working for five six years study timber engineering if there is such thing in you lovely home country . This then in return might give you the chance to understand the term #driven by overall layout# . The next step for you would be to purchase a genuine Solidworks licence and turn your woodworking dreams into reality. Additional training modules could probably purchased through you Value Added Reseller in your lovely home country

[@syed-bf7jc]

nice one. can you tell me the dimensions you used in mm or inches?

[@hawkridgesystems]

Inches were used for overall cabinet sizes mm may have been used used for drill sizes for peg holes and other hardware as these are most often metric

NICE JOB

[@georgepeterson4977]

This was a wonderful sales video for Solidworks, but provided ZERO instruction. A video of you actually accomplishing all of the modeling would be incredibly helpful! Part 2 was equally unhelpful. Oh, and Jurgen, I am a carpenter of 20 years... now I just would like to be able to model and produce a nice parts list for my employees.

[@hawkridgesystems]

Thanks for the feedback George. Some of our videos are intended as high level overviews like this one, we will consider making more detailed tutorials on the subject in the future!
