SOLIDWORKS: Using Knit Feature for Surface Modeling

[@Auday365]

Great video, thank you. - Knit solid body to generate a surface body is helpful to quickly generate a surface out of a solid. - Radiate then knit is also another nice approach to have a surface body.

Thanks for the excellent video. I wish to know whether it is possible to upload the part file. Just to practice because I have many issues in gap control.

Hi Rajan, I've uploaded the original surface model of the Shifter Handle to Google Drive so that you can download and work with it: drive.google.com/file/d/1Dbhl4WBdefz7vhub6hEQymnPxU3ojxiB/view?usp=sharing This is the very beginning version with the gaps, so you'll want to follow the steps I've outlined in the video to get it to work properly. I hope this helps!

What you’d say if compare offset from the surface with zero vs knit surface tool?

[@jacobames8768]

Hi Artem, that's a great question. There's a considerable amount of overlap between those two tools in the context you're describing, and in many cases they can accomplish the same thing. The main difference in your situation is that Offset Surface can be used on individual faces of surface bodies to offset/copy them, while Knit Surface must be used on entire bodies and cannot be used on individual faces. Keep in mind that what you're describing is a different use case for the Knit command and isn't something that is shown in this video. I hope this helps!
