How to 3D Sketch [v2.0] 2017 | Autodesk Inventor

[@MrAlexanderh1]

Intellect and humor at the same damn time.... Ladies

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

The 3D sketching tools in Inventor are nice. Really easy and intuitive to use.

[@AyanAli-ew9sw]

I'm very grateful to you for your videos, I've Liked every single one I've watched and I intend to watch every single one left. Wish you well. Keep them coming!

[@junkieball]

+1 for tutorials on the new surface 3d sketch tools.

[@jodybressi7957]

TFI. Thank You so much for these tutorials. They have helped me tremendously with certain work methods I have struggled with in Inventor. Maybe you can do one on how to use the sprocket builder to create a visual chain run around a conveyor assembly.

[@poruatokin]

Brilliant stuff, I could listen to you all day long and learn at the same time. Thanks very much for sharing your skills!!

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

If you could listen to Neil all day long then you and I are very, very different human beings.

[@stevenaguirre8424]

Great video. Can you do a video on tube and pipe?

[@kvzsmith]

This helps me so much. I'm in the process of learning Tube and Pipe Run and it isn't very friendly creating the routes that way. I'd prefer to use a 3D sketch but I hadn't had much experience with it. This got it down for me. Thanks so much. If you do a video on Tube and Pipe Run, I'll be the first one to watch it. I looked to see if you had one already but didn't see one. Great video as always. From "one of the Ladies"!

[@shawnhamrick8195]

Thanks for the video! You helped me figure out how to "bend" paper wire for a chair assembly I spent a couple days trying to figure out!

[@thomashardy8838]

Great videos that I've seen so far. Please may you guide me to a tutorial on curved geometries? I've not done any surface modelling so might have to learn that but ultimately I'm trying to model a bike saddle that will curve over every axis. I'm struggling to article my difficulty but I can't create curves that appear different looking from each left, front or top. Curves front to back, left to right and has a kite-like shape...can you tell it's doing my head in thinking of it yet? Any help (anyone) would be greatly received, cheers

[@thomasantonsen]

Love your tutorials, so far you`re my Inventor main man! Ladies! What I do miss, and yes I`ve tried searching, but I can`t find any tube and pipe tutorials. I am making a pipe run on a test rig we have as a project. SO will have a pumpms, valves, pressure compensatores, heat exchanger and so. But still look at myself as a newbie, maybe bacause I`ve been using Inventor for 2 years and still I feel like have to start all over again after been away from Inventor for 3-4 weeks. So a tube and pipe tutorial, a deep tutorial on it, by using DIN and ISO, flanges, thread connections. That would be awsome, if you could do that within the end of the week...... (using 2018 btw)

[@jesscneal]

Thanks for the vid Neil. I recently did a project with 3D sketches and it was a pain in the ass. I didn't know the "Reset to Origin" trick. Keep em coming.... ;)

[@filiphsandberg7505]

I have a question for you. Sketch up have a very simple and clever function that lets you lock the line you drawing i one axis, So if you want to simplify this you put a constrain in one axis and the click the connection which would make that line correct length at once, is there a function like that in inventor? / thank you

[@manelcamposcosta]

Hi didn't that created a lot of constraints when you made your path adaptive to the tank? for every point and for every axis...

[@PappaKnowsBest]

What about using the ortho mode in 3D sketching instead of x,y,z coordinates?

[@smoothoctopus]

I'd Love to see a more advanced 3d sketching...splines, lofting, etc but otherwise, great videos, I finally understand how to draw in 3d sketches!

[@aMeistro]

Loved it, your videos provide some much needed help so thank you! I would indeed love it if you would dig into the 3D sketch some more such as the curve o face, project to surface and such. As well as maybe talking about when we would actually use the include geometry tool if ever. Either way, thank you and keep it up. It’s nice to have someone to teach me that actually knows what their talking about and shows us the important details.

[@polakpatriota4014]

How to create an angle on each planes between lines ? I need make a pipeline with different slope ? I can use pipeline creator but it's more complicated...

[@TamaraGalica]

Yet again another excellent tutorial. Thank you so much

[@CrazyState1]

hello, I have a curved surface sketch that I drew in 3D and then extruded using the loft tool (imagine a shoe horn type shape), so that I now have a surface. How do I turn this surface sketch into a solid body? I basically want to give the sketch a depth of 2mm so that it resembles a curved plastic part made of thin plastic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

[@allanfisher37]

Hi Neil, thanks a mil for another great tutorial. Ive started using Inventor about 2 weeks ago and I've subbed to your channel once I've discovered it. I have to say you have taught me a lot in the past 2 weeks. Im actually watching a lot of your videos on my TV as a regular TV viewing experience while having the grub etc.. Oh and a big hello from across the pond in Ireland BTW. I have a question for you if you have time to answer. While working on a project and I create a plane and start a 2D sketch. I notice @ 19:02 of this vid yours does the same. The model automatically orients to the origin point. I.e. It orients away from where you are making your new sketch and you have to pan back to the position. I find this extremely annoying while working on a very small area of my model that ive zoomed in a lot on. Is there any way to stop this behavior ??

[@oUnfitNinjao]

He addresses this in a video I JUST watched. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4alhIJtp696ms0

[@akaprince16]

Ur awesome dude.. needed a tutorial on this today and BAMM!!!! saw this on!!! GOOD BRODA!!

[@faye9756]

Thanx for the great video! Question: How do you get the tirad to rotate so you can enter relative spherical dimensions like IronCAD does?

[@joemorin9168]

When 3D sketching in Inventor 2020, I noticed that sometimes when I try to drag the endpoint of a line, or the line itself, the entity moves the opposite direction of the cursor. I grab and drag left, but the selected entities move to the right! Any idea what's going on there?

[@sebhand31]

wow really impressive, i don't work on inventor but i think that it's possible to do the same on CATIA no? :) I think they do like that to design all connectic in plane (airbus, boeing)

[@ianrowie8681]

Neil, how would you get the length of the pipe? Brilliant tutorials!! Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

On one hand you point out that he left out the small detail (to some maybe) of how he got the length of the pipe yet said "Brilliant tutotrials!!" So is it brilliant or could he slow down and explain things better? And all of his videos are just like this. If you think just because it says "tutorial" in the title you're going to get an explanation to his hyperactive clicking, you can forget it.

[@bluescream7463]

2 x thumbs up ; Thank you very much for all your great invention tutorials :)

[@robbbarrett6430]

thanks Neil great to see your building TFI again .Robb

[@Neil3D]

+Robb Barrett thanks, it never went, just takes me longer to do the videos these days as my day job is so busy!

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

If by "building TFI again" you mean talking and clicking as if he just drank 14 gallons of coffee, then I fully agree.

[@jeandarmshow]

I did everything as you told, but I don't know why, after I set the triad to origin and the precision inputs to relative, I can't type the values. For example, I can type 0 or whatever value for x, but if I press comma as you do, the input doesn't go to z..the comma it's added to x input value :(

[@jasmined9569]

do you do tutorials for piping design (tube and pipe) route ; )

[@MrAlexanderh1]

Can constraints be applied to 3d sketches?

[@electronale]

Please please please pretty please do a tutorial with those new 3D sketch with curves features. I need to understand how to model good with them!!! Thank you tfi cad!

[@MrAlexanderh1]

+TFI What do you think of Fusion 360 compared to Inventor?

[@BStott]

Your toots are excellent! One request - when you do the 'Wrong' ways - please do them after all your 'Right Ways'. I find it confusing having to filter out the 'Wrongs' while I'm mentally cranked tight to do the 'Right Way'.

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

Nope, he's going to blast it out there then quickly on to the next topic, whether you got it or not.

[@DaVinci091987]

recently i bought a 4k screen and all icons are quite small now. can you show how to modify inventor to work with it properly? thanks you in advance

[@Neil3D]

+Lars Weikert unless you've got Inventor 2017 there's not a lot you can do, the dev team need to do the work for 4k. I lower the screen resolution to 1080p whilst I need to use something which sucks on 4K

[@DaVinci091987]

thank you for your quick reply. I work with Inventor 2016 but can get access to 2017 when there's a 4k option.

[@Neil3D]

That's what I mean, 2017 does work a lot better with 4K than 2016 does.

[@ncradock2007]

Yes plz for tutorials on them other things like curve on face etc

[@mahdi.shahsavari]

What a magic! thanks man.

[@ncradock2007]

We need some tutorials like from CAD CAM TUTORIAL Channel but for inventor not solidworks :)

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

A lot of people may see your comment and not understand what you mean but I know EXACTLY what you mean. 99% of the SolidWorks tutorials are slower with much more explanations about what they're doing, etc. This guy evidently thinks it's funny to talk and click like a crazy person. All his videos are like this one. If you're looking for a video similar to CAD CAM TUTORIAL, you can forget it.

[@JuanoD_]

Great tutorial, and the "Ladies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" just killed me. You won a suscriptor, keep it up.

[@allanfisher37]

P.S. im working on a model and hope to submit it to your render wars series soon. baring in mind ive only 2 weeks experience with Inventor but feck it. It's a challenge and an excuse to do some modelling :-) (im screen recording my work and ill be uploading a sped up version on my channel so that should prove ive done the work lol)

[@dickiebrewer1232]

You are the bomb bro!

[@arshbrar9211]

Thank you!

[@s921207]

nice! I'd like for tutorials for surfaces

[@roboninja565]

please do the advanced tools

[@MrAlexanderh1]

Pause its not entering the hole Ladies!!!! You're killing me Jules.

[@davisdiercks]

Heyyyy so great tutorial, really helped with my understanding of 3D sketching... Couple of internal screaming moments. First, a "mil" is a thousandth of an inch, it's not short for millimeter. Second, THE FIX CONSTRAINT IS SPAWN OF SATAN IT SHOULD NOT EXIST MUCH LESS BE USED EVER (well ok like 0.1% of the time BUT ALMOST NEVER)

[@Dwarfgrinder]

lmfao "Ladies..." ;)

[@deltajegga]

cmon man, your not even going to show the cool stuff? how dose the curve on face thing work?

[@Neil3D]

Haha I'm doing it, check out the very latest vid "emboss text on any curved face" that shows one of the cool stuff ;)

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

Him stop and explain something? You can forget that.

[@MrAlexanderh1]

Pause .... Ladies!!!!! LMAO

[@thinkingmonkey8083]

What's more in demand is for you to talk and click slower, that's what is really in demand. Instead of sending folks off to another video to watch so you don't have to touch on those topics again, how about just covering it again here. We searched for "inventor tutorial" and ended up here so actually do something, FFS. Search "SolidWorks tutorial" and you'll see a multitude of people talking and clicking like a normal person and even, God forbid, explaining what they're doing. 500,000 views, some of them.
