Additionally, I hope that when I teach kids to CAD with a lot of features (for example on frame tubing, first the profile extrusion, then any wheel holes, then top gusset holes, then gearbox holes, etc), that they realize that the way they model a part should reflect what depends on what and how it will actually be manufactured. Of course, I can definitely see how you might find putting a lot of stuff in a sketch faster.

Same here actually. But I distribute part geometry into different sketches because I'm more prone to goofs and mistakes
The configurations tool was one of the most useful things I learned during internships. Glad these videos exist so I can teach other kids in a really well presented manner.
Thanks again for these, Adam. Looking forward to more information on best practices for elevator designs. These videos are perfect right now while I have time to CAD stuff up!
By the way, I can't even imagine the amount of restraint you're showing in not using the keyboard and mouse shortcuts lol
