To be more efficient, mirroring and patterning was\u00a0used throughout the main part and also the assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The chair is broken up into the front and sides in main part. The back section of the chair and the seat rest are\u00a0created in the assembly. Multiple sword configurations are used to vary the swords to make it look less uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Different techniques are used to create sketch paths for the sword blade sweeps including intersection curve,\u00a0projected curve, spline on surface and split line features.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the unique features in the parts include projected curve, insert part, flex, split line curve, move\/copy\u00a0body and move face. Feature scope is used through out the part and assembly to control which solids or components\u00a0are affected by a feature. Other features included in the models are lofts, multiple sweeps, combine and split\u00a0features.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different examples of patterns in the part and assembly to speed up the process of placing multiple swords. Linear, circular, sketch and even curve driven patterns are used in this assembly. There is even an example of a circular pattern of a sketched driven\u00a0pattern. \u00a0Download this file to learn more about how make 3D curves for 3D sweeps, and various part and assembly patterns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Chair1-1.zip\" rel=\"\">Sword Chair<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\">Complexity: <\/strong>Complex<br \/>\n<strong>Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Projected Curve, Insert Part, Flex, Split Line Curve<\/p>\n<p>View all the Part Reviewer Tutorials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dcontentcentral.com\/parts\/supplier\/SOLIDWORKS-Part-Reviewer.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>DraftSight Download: <\/b>In conjunction with DraftSight, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes&#8217; 2D CAD product, the 2D drawing(.dwg) file of the Sword Chair\u00a0tutorial is now available for download <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dcontentcentral.com\/supplierservices\/download-model.aspx?catalogid=11199&amp;id=663447\" rel=\"\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/dragon#_ga=2.262633292.1174027925.1556843858-61b458a0-4412-11e9-b9b4-db6f59447469\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23433\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250-615x160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250-615x160.jpg 615w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250-300x78.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250-768x200.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250-728x189.jpg 728w, https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/sw_banners_got_dragonflame_961x250.jpg 961w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sword Chair:\u00a0This fun assembly shows the use of various techniques to give the appearance of over a hundred swords comprising\u00a0the chair without having to actually place all those swords one by one.\u00a0The challenge with this chair was to not\u00a0have to<\/p>\n... <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/2016\/04\/solidworks-part-reviewer-sword-chair-tutorial.html\">Continued<\/a>","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":11551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[539,35],"tags":[121,42,333,60,453,414],"class_list":["post-11539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-part-reviewer-tutorials","category-tips-tricks","tag-complex","tag-part-reviewer","tag-prp","tag-tech-tip","tag-tips-and-tricks","tag-tutorial"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11539"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23731,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11539\/revisions\/23731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
