Re: Helix is round and not selecting like vid 08
.... I think you should have a grasp of the basics - why don't you try to model something for yourself? Good idea. I will try to when I can think of something worth modeling. I am aiming toward architecture so I don't have any engineering parts to model; but I want to learn as much as possible abou...

Re: Helix is round and not selecting like vid 08
.... delete Sketch004 and Pad001, create a new Body (it will be named Body001), then make a new Sketch and Pad inside of Body001. With the release of 0.17 these tutorials are obsolete, especially this one, because the Part Design work flow has changed since they were made. I think now it would be b...

When I opened my notifications panel, I saw no notifications, but I checked and you had made a comment after my last one on this thread.
Is this a bug in the forum software or did I make a mistake?

When I pad my sketch004 instead of filling in the center the sketch seems to fill outside. I'll need to l...

When I pad my sketch004 instead of filling in the center the sketch seems to fill outside.
Any suggestions appreciated.
