The guides were created in a vector based programe, exported as a DXF and imported into SOLIDWORKS. If you draw a dashed line in the vector software, they will come in as a center-line guide sketch. Six new planes were added along the DXF sketch centre-lines, these were used to draw the lofting profiles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/frame209.png\" width=\"726\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The outer sketch curves were used as guide curves with the loft. Guide curves can be very useful in achieving the exact profile from your loft profiles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/frame2010.png\" width=\"725\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Boundary boss was used to create the Pinatas ears, and again a guide curve was used created with a 3D sketch to inform the boundary on what path to follow joining the two faces. The boundary boss can be very useful joining up two touching sketch profiles along a guide.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/frame2011.png\" width=\"726\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Pinata tail was created using a flexed boss extruded body, it was copied and moved into place, Several copies were made, and mirrored mid plane so that the tail was symmetric. Move\/Copy Bodies allows you to copy, move and rotate or even mate bodies into place, it is very precise, and gives you full control of the placement of multiple bodies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/frame2012.png\" width=\"726\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tail copies were combined to the Pinata body to become one body, all edges and joins were filleted.
