Basic Techniques-Surfaces (SolidWorks 2014)

In this Basic Tutorial of SolidWorks we will demonstrate the surface modelling capabilities of the software.
The surfaces are utilized quite an often while designing complex and freehand drawing related parts. This tutorial is picked up from the default tutorials that comes up with the software. You can find its written version under Basic Techniques → Surfaces
Following is the description that is mentioned in the original Tutorial..

Surfaces are a type of geometry with zero thickness. To create surfaces, you use many of the same methods used to create solids, such as extrudes, revolves, and sweeps. Surfaces also use other functions or features such as trim, untrim, extend, and knit.

Surfaces have advantages over solids. They are more flexible than solids because you do not have to define the boundaries between the surfaces until the final steps of the design. This flexibility helps product designers, work with smooth, extended curves such as those used in automobile fenders or telephone housings.

In this lesson, you start with an existing sketch composed of lines, arcs, splines, and sketch points. Then you apply the following surface features to create a nozzle:

· Lofts · Sweeps · Knits · Fills · Planar · Revolve · Move/Copy · Trim · Extend · Untrim · Thicken
