[@zaylanpayne3925]

Im trying to do the cut with surface @16:41 and it will not selected my surface through the revolve like yours, im not getting the blue line that paints out the surface

[@learnsolidworks]

Thank you for reaching out. To select the surface for the cut at 16:41, please try accessing it through the "Surfaces Bodies" folder in the feature tree. Sometimes, directly selecting it from the revolve feature might not work as expected. If you're still encountering difficulties despite trying this method, please feel free to email your SOLIDWORKS file to [e-mail]. I'd be happy to take a look and provide further assistance. Best regards, Jan

Hello! So I try to make the edge tangent to the chain (minute 8:41) but for some reason it doesn't allow me to pick the existing relations, it just shows me the objects that I have picked. Does anybody know why does this happen?

[@learnsolidworks]

That's weird... I recommend to try to use the Selection Manager to select the right sketch. Hope this helps! :)

[@sirclippliers]

Happy birthday, really enjoying this model. One thing, @ 1853 there is an extrude cut, on my model it doesnt actually cut anything away. Ive gone back over it but i cant find what ive done wrong, any ideas??

[@MF-pu3dr]

Same for me.. what am I doing wrong

[@sirclippliers]

Right or wrong, i deleted the face and that kinda worked

[@learnsolidworks]

@@sirclippliers make sure to check if your model is a Solid Body. If not, the Extruded Cut option will not work. Hope this helps! :)

[@ahmetakyasan6519]

Why did you use loft command at 12:48 I did not understand could you explain to me

[@learnsolidworks]

That's a good question! This is because the original surface was double-curved while we needed a single-curved surface. I forgot to mention this in the video.
