Solidworks

Solidworks will be new to a lot of teachers and students, especially if they have no knowledge of 3D modeling or other CAD applications. Here I hope to provide a collection of useful Models. If anyone wants to add to the collection, e-mail me your files and I will upload them and give you full credit.

Latest Additions

A Solidworks video of how to dimension isometric drawings of objects has been uploaded.

Models of Solids have been added. These Models are designed to be adaptable to the use you have in mind. For example the Cube can be downloaded and you only have to edit one dimension in the sketch and then edit the extruded height. With a Cone, you would have to edit the base circle dimension in one sketch and then the height in a second sketch.
