Can any of you guys instruct me as how to do a screw in SW? Im practising the battery pack at the back.

Try drawing a upside down right angled triangle on the front plane..and loft it around the central line to from what would look like a cone. Then draw a helix shape around the *cone* and sweep a line (the grove bit) around the helix. Dome the surface of the *cone*, create a plane on the surface on the dome, and draw in the + shape and extrude cut that. Hop it helps if it makes sense to you.:pac:

Correction, I think you mean 'revolve' around the central line, not 'loft'

Yeah It kind of does, I see what you are planning to do, just can you clarify the functions used with each one? I know you have lots of verbs which probably signify the functions obviously to you, just our teacher isnt great at it and we only use the basic functions. For example if someone used a chamfer he would be impressed!!

Most of these images are unreal well done lads! Deadlines next week so i suggest a few all nighters itll be worth it! I did the DS and a new design cant wait to see the end of it!:)

Rossie17 · 05-02-2010 9:51pm

Ive drawn the right angled triangle, then revolved boss'ed it so it is an upside down cone. That ok so far? How do you draw the helix shape around this? Im probably doing something wrong?

Rossie17 · 05-02-2010 10:01pm

Oh and for the Mods, can you a new design INSTEAD of modifications? Or do you do a new design with new features? thanks

Just pick 1. Either: A new design ifrom scratch like starting again and doing all the solid works and everything. OR a modification where you change something in your present solidworks. If your caught for time i suggest modifications because you have the main solidworks done just add grip or more curves or a solar panel.

Im gonna do mods imo, just Ill kind of "design" my mods so I might get marks for that whole sketched out design lark.

Here's my PS3.

KeithM23 · 06-02-2010 7:15pm

Nice, too bad for me it wasn't a Xbox 360 Controller - would love to hear how someone else did theiirs.

Actually I thought it was my monitor but are the button colours off?

IrishKev · 06-02-2010 7:22pm

No but you'd be forgiven for thinking that, I did aswell, but the colour changes with the way you tilt and view the controller, must be the material I suppose. The Circle button has the same materials and colour as the rest of the buttons on the right believe it or not!

You are probably right but I think it might be the colour type aswell, did you use standard?

IrishKev · 06-02-2010 8:05pm

Yeah they're all exactly the same colour I didn't variate any of them with that colour thingy

It's strange alright though

I'm not doing DCG- I did the old Technical Drawing course.

Just want to tell you all how unbelievably good your images look, and let you know how lucky you are to be doing the new course. I feel really outdated now when I think of what my exam consisted of:o. You really are picking up good CAD skills as far as I can see (not that I know anything about it:D).

Well done guys!
