- [Instructor] So there's a few things that I'd
like to talk about before we get into actually
creating a surface.
As we look at our toolbar
you'll notice that I have a toolbar here
with a little chevrons.
Kind of hard to see, but they're there.
This is indicting that there are more icons
following this toolbar,
but the screen resolution and the length of the toolbar
do not allow the entire toolbar to be seen.
So I'm just going to grab this little line right over here,
and pull this out.
I'm going to hold the shift key down
to change the orientation of that toolbar.
And you'll notice that it's called operations.
And you may have additional toolbars buried that'll pop up.
As we go through some the tools within
Generative Shape Design,
you're going to notice that some of them are named exactly
the same as they are in other workbenches.
For example, under Operations we have Edge Fillet.
We have FacetoFace Fillet, Tritangent Fillet.
I'm going to go and switch workbenches.
I'm going to go into start, part design.
And notice here
that currently the toolbars grade out,
but I have Edge Fillet, FacetoFace Fillet,
Tritangent Fillet.
Now this workbench is meant for solids.
This is the part design workbench.
You'll also notice I have a sketcher tool here.
And I'm going to switch back to Generative Shape Design.
And I have my sketcher tool here.
Exact same tool.
In this case the sketcher works exactly the same
between Generative Shape and Part Design.
Same thing with my filleting tool.
They work exactly the same,
except these are meant specifically for surfaces.
The part design is meant specifically for solids.
So if you go in and you're trying to let's say
apply a fillet to a surface with the part design
filleting tool, it will not allow it.
You have to make sure that you are in the correct workbench.
As far the sketcher goes,
doesn't matter when you enter in the sketcher.
Do what you're going to do.
You exit out.
You come back out into the previous workbench you were in.
Part design or Generative Shape.
Now a lot of times you're going to here various terms about
working between solids and surfaces.
And the word hybrid comes out quite a few times.
There are two basic meaning between hybrid design.
And the first meaning hybrid design is
you're using a solid, or a surface to work with
a solid or a surface.
In this case I have a surface.
So once again, I'm just going to switch into part design.
If I come in and in this case,
let's say thick surface,
I'm going to get a little message.
It's going to say hey.
I have to put this solid into the correct body.
It's going to put it into this part body.
And let's just okay pass that.
Pick the surface and just use the defaults.
Select okay.
Now you'll notice I have an actual solid body.
That is hybrid design.
I made a solid from a surface.
Or I could extract faces off of the solid
to help make surfaces in the opposite direction.
Another example of hybrid design means something
completely different.
You'll see here the solid went into this part body.
Surfaces and curves and 3D geometry will go into
what's called a geometrical set.
Under tools options,
infrastructure,
part infrastructure,
you have what's called part document.
And under here you have what's called a hybrid design.
This is for how the tree is structured.
A lot of companies like to turn this off
so that when they create a solid
it goes into a part body,
or when somebody creates a surface
or a curve it goes into a geometrical set.
If you turn this on
then you can put solids and surfaces into the same body.
And for some people they don't like working in that fashion.
It can get kind of confusing.
What goes where.
Depending on the feature,
it also will do things that you
may not be aware that it's doing,
like when you get into booleans
or some of the advanced features.
So a lot companies have a propensity to turn this off,
so that way the solids are independent of the surfaces
and vice versa.
But you can still use the surfaces to make a solid,
and you can still use the solid to make a surface.
This is a very important distinction.
So anywhere you go work,
this is something that you want to make sure
that you verify with the team that they are
using hybrid design, or they're not.
Again, most places that I've been typically
have this turned off.
