SOLIDWORKS Part Reviewer: Wishbone

Download

Wishbone: This festive model demonstrates hybrid modeling. It is modeled with mostly solid body features, with the center intersection created with a handful of surface features.

The clavicle is created with a “center line” loft which acts like a loft with a sweep path. A projected curve which “merges” two 2D sketches to make a 3D curve is used for the “sweep path” for the unique “centerline” loft.

Complexity: Moderate

Surface body features in the part include: boundary surfaces, surfaces fills, surface knits and one surface trim. There is one example of “delete face” used to turn solid bodies into surface bodies.
