Conclusion0:55

Intro0:57
Master advanced x design features such as revolved boss and cut, swept boss, and lofted boss and cut, using one or more sketches and reference geometries and sketch planes.
Revolved and Revolved cut9:12
Explore revolve, revolve cut, and revolve boss to transform 2d sketches into 3d models, including a sphere and a slotted cylinder, with step-by-step sketching and dimensioning.
Swept and Swept Cut6:26
Apply sweep and sweep cut to create and remove material using two sketches—a path and a profile—and verify the result with a cross-section view.
Reference Geometries - Planes9:20
Loft - Part 1 - Straight Loft7:49
Learn to use loft and loft cut in xdesign to build a 3d model from multiple cross sections without guide curves, creating planes, sketches, and a loft.
