1. Watch the videos
Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.

2. Key takeaways
When internal passages matter most, model them as solids, then subtract them with Combine.
Edges that are too close prevent a fillet: add the fillets on separate bodies, then combine.
The casting core and pattern can be created in the same part, then saved as separate parts.
Move Face and Delete Face edit an imported part without remodeling it.
Tip
For a drilled block, keep the negative space body in the part but hidden: it is used to check the passage cross-sections.
