Weldments are not automatically displayed in SolidWorks, you must right click in the Command Manager and check the Weldment toolbar option.
The weldment technique is to sketch the frame in 2 d or 3 d and then select the cross sectional profile. My guess is alum. tubing will be used. You can modify the dimensions of the cross section for your framing by editing the sketch.
Once your frame is complete, you can then place it in a drawing and ask for the cut list. This modeling technique is alot faster than trying to create a welded frame or tubular frame as an assembly.
Let me know if you have questions. Marie |
Thank you so much Marie, I will upload it to 3d Content Central. If I need any help I will contact you and thank you so much for the offer.
