How to Align Empty Mesh Files in SolidWorks

[@harryhino2267]

Quick shout out to Josh for helping me out with a problem I was having creating an offset after using the "Cavity" function. I was blown away how quickly he came to my aid, whilst being patient with my lack of experience. 11 out of 10.

What you’re doing is definitely worth it.

Thank you! I said that during recording, without realizing I felt it, so I appreciate the encouragement.

Hey great video, Im a bit lost with the alignment, when I right click, I get a different menu with Icons for, Suppress, Mate, View Mates, Appearances, Select other.... Then a menu of Selection Tools, Pan/Rotate, etc... What command is it to align the sketch with the plane? Thanks.

Glad I could help!

Nice. I recently purchased a 3D scanner and plan on using it to build rear and front bumpers. I am still a little lost on how to get started in solid works with the scan. Any help would be much appreciated.

Happy to help! Are you making it out of tube? Do you have the scan yet?

[@VidalMetalWorx]

@@forgeproductdevelopment it will be a combination of both tube and plate. I do have a scan already. I have uploaded on to Solidworks but now I don’t know where to go from there 😬.

Is this for work or fun? If you send me the scan I am happy to show you some things. Send it to [e-mail]

@@forgeproductdevelopment this would be for my business. Sounds good will do!
