Though rings are often associated with marriage, this isn\u2019t always the case. Rings are versatile in meaning, and have held symbolic value in humanity for centuries. From personal expression to granting invisibility to physical declarations of love, rings really have no single purpose. Whether you\u2019re a Lord of the Rings fan or want simply to create a cost-effective option for your fraternity, this is the perfect way to dip your toes into the world of SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n
Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing with you a four part tutorial series on how to create a custom engagement ring in SOLIDWORKS!\u00a0We\u2019ll start slow, and cover everything from the prongs and settings to adding additional accent stones and rounding off the shank for maximum comfort.<\/p>\n
In the third installment of the Custom Engagement Ring series, we will be adding accent stones to the shank. This will be done by taking a copy of the center stone and then scaling it down to the appropriate size.\u00a0Some features that are used in this tutorial are Body Move\/Copy, Scale, applying materials to part bodies, as well as an introduction to the Dome feature.<\/p>\n
