Advanced modeling · Complete SOLIDWORKS learning path
Complex fillets, 3D sketches, sweeps and multibody parts for difficult shapes.
Free video training · 3D Design
Four lessons for parts that basic features cannot handle. The videos in the last lesson, on multibody techniques, are in French (marked FR).

What you will be able to do
✓Master fillet options: overflow, variable radius, setback and face fillets
✓Build 3D paths and sweeps with helixes, twist control and wrap
✓Work with multibody parts: split, combine, move and indent bodies
✓Solve a modeling problem by modeling negative space or separating bodies
Where to start
Start with lesson 1 if your fillets often fail. If you design molds, castings or hydraulic manifolds, go straight to lessons 3 and 4 on multibody parts.
