Hello friends welcome to Free tutorial
0:03
and in this tutorial we will model this
0:05
uh offset guide from the scratch as you
0:09
can see thatth I have already modeled it
0:11
and I will show you from the scratch to
0:14
model this part I am using the freeat
0:17
version
0:18
1.0 and it is a rc2 release if you have
0:23
not installed the freeat version 1.0
0:26
then install
0:28
it let's
0:30
start our
0:32
tutorial so I will close this file and
0:35
create a new
0:36
file here I have created a new file and
0:40
I have switched to the part design
0:42
workbench and I will insert my body and
0:45
as per our part orientation we will
0:47
first create this uh base plate so for
0:50
this I will On the Origin plane and
0:53
select this top plane and click on the
0:57
sketch and I will switch to the
1:00
isometric and off this origin
1:03
plane and I will create
1:07
a
1:09
rectangle select this point and this
1:12
point and
1:17
merge now I will select Dimension tool
1:21
and provide the horizontal dimension of
1:24
75 and the vertical dimension of uh 48
1:30
it now click on
1:33
close and we will extrude it to the
1:36
distance of 8 mm which we can see here
1:40
select the sketch click on extrude and
1:42
uh provide the distance 8
1:45
mm now we will move to the next step
1:48
which is material addition so we will
1:52
select this uh top face and create a
1:55
rectangular profile
2:00
so let's select the stop pH and click on
2:03
the sketch and switch to the isometric
2:06
position so we want to project this
2:10
age let's switch to the flat lines View
2:13
and uh we will click on the project
2:16
geometry icon which is here and we will
2:19
project this age this age and this age
2:22
now we will switch to the top view and
2:25
simply create a
2:28
rectangle and this is of 8 mm thickness
2:31
select Dimension and provide the 8 mm
2:36
Dimension click on close and we will
2:39
extrude it to the distance of 60 mm so
2:42
click on the pad and add the distance 60
2:47
mm click on okay now we will move to the
2:51
next
2:52
step which is to create a cut we will
2:56
create a triangular profile and we will
2:59
uh remove remove the material so we will
3:01
select the phase and click on the
3:05
sketch click on the project
3:10
geometry click on this Edge and this
3:13
Edge and uh create a triangular
3:22
profile and now let's uh provide the
3:26
dimension so select uh smart dimension
3:30
and this is the
3:34
32 and we will uh project this age and
3:39
provide the angle so click on the
3:41
project
3:44
geometry project this age and now select
3:48
Dimension and provide the angular
3:51
dimension of 30
3:56
mm and click on close
4:01
press zero for
4:04
isometric now we will again edit this
4:08
CED because this 32 mm Dimension is not
4:11
from here it is from the bottom Edge so
4:14
we will delete it and uh select a
4:17
dimension tool select this point and
4:19
this point and uh provide the
4:22
32 click on
4:25
close click on Cut and from here say
4:29
through all say
4:33
okay
4:35
now we will remove the material at this
4:39
portion so we will select the phas and
4:42
click on the sketch and uh click on the
4:45
project geometry and project these two
4:49
edges and uh we will create an arc which
4:53
will be tangent to these two lines so
4:57
select the threep point AR and uh create
5:01
an
5:05
arc select it and add a
5:09
tangent select it and add a
5:13
tangent now we will uh switch to the
5:16
wireframe view and uh now we will close
5:20
this profile and remove the
5:26
material click on close select the scale
5:29
click on extrude Cut and from here say
5:33
true now we will uh move to the next
5:37
step which is to add the material so we
5:42
will select the back face click on the
5:46
sketch and uh we will project this age
5:50
this age and this radius so click on
5:53
Project geometry project this radius
5:55
this H and this H and now
6:00
select a line
6:02
tool create a line select this and this
6:07
and add a parallel T and select the
6:10
dimension tool and first fix
6:14
the position of this line to the 8 mm
6:19
distance and click on the trim tool trim
6:23
this unnecessary geometry and from here
6:26
select a three-point Arc
6:31
and we will close this profile and add
6:33
the
6:39
material click on
6:41
close select the sketch click on
6:45
extrude and uh extrude the distance to
6:49
the 50
6:50
mm provide here 50
6:54
mm let's see what happened first we will
6:58
uh check the validation of the
7:01
sketch so click on the Highlight trouble
7:05
shoot
7:06
Vex so here is a
7:09
issue this Loop is not
7:13
closed so we will uh delete this line
7:17
and again draw the
7:20
line similarly we will
7:24
uh select a three-point Arc
7:29
and create a three-point
7:33
Arc and
7:35
now we will select this Arc and this and
7:40
add
7:42
equal and let's see what is on
7:45
constraint so select this point and this
7:49
point click on
7:52
coincidence and
7:54
now click on
7:56
extrude and provide the 50 m
8:02
click on okay now we will move to the
8:05
next step which is to add the material
8:09
at this portion so I will select this
8:13
pH and click on the
8:17
sketch project this vertical and
8:19
horizontal
8:23
edges and create
8:26
a triangular profile
8:33
and uh select the dimension and provide
8:36
this height of the 40 mm click on
8:41
okay and uh we will add the material of
8:44
10 mm select the
8:47
sketch and from here select the reverse
8:50
here is a 10 mm click on okay now we
8:53
will move to the next
8:55
step which is to provide a fillet of R
8:59
six
9:00
to select the age click on the fillet
9:03
provide the value 6 mm click on okay now
9:07
we will move to the next
9:09
step which is
9:11
to remove the material at this
9:16
portion so for
9:18
this here is a
9:21
R15 so what we will
9:23
do we will select this bottom phas and
9:27
uh click on the sketch
9:31
select
9:32
isometric rotate model and project this
9:36
and this
9:38
age click on Project select this and
9:43
this select a three-point
9:46
Arc and here we will create an arc which
9:51
will be tangent select the tangent
9:55
select this and this and add a tangent
10:01
and uh we will select the line
10:03
tool select this and this and add a
10:10
line similarly here close the profile
10:14
now we will close
10:16
it and uh click on the cut
10:20
tool say reverse so here uh wire is not
10:24
closed so first we will uh validate
10:28
select the scale sketch click on here
10:30
validate the sketch tool and click on
10:33
the Highlight troubleshoot Vortex so we
10:36
can see that here is a problem
10:42
so delete the
10:46
sketch and uh we again create a
10:49
three-point
10:55
Arc select this and this and uh add a
10:58
tangent
10:59
select this and this and add
11:03
tangency select this and this and add a
11:09
coincidence so here we will uh select
11:14
the dimension tool and provide the
11:16
radius of 15
11:18
mm click on
11:20
close now let's cut and from here say
11:25
through
11:27
all now we will move to the the next ST
11:29
which is to provide the fillet of R15 so
11:33
select this age and click on the
11:37
fillet provide the 15 mm and now let's
11:41
move to the next step which is to create
11:43
a counter s hole here so we will select
11:47
the face and click on the sketch and
11:51
now this is the counter s hole with uh
11:55
8.3 mm drill which means that uh 8.3 mm
12:00
drill will be the throughout these two
12:02
holes so we will create a two
12:07
Circle and
12:09
uh provideed diameter
12:13
8.3 select this and this and uh made it
12:18
equal and now select the dimension tool
12:22
select this and this point and provide
12:25
the dimension of 20
12:27
mm select this and uh this provide a
12:31
dimension of 30 mm and from here to here
12:37
is of 20
12:39
mm and uh we will select this point and
12:43
this point and add a horizontal
12:47
relation so our sketch is fully
12:50
constrained and now we will create a
12:53
counter s hole so we will come out of
12:56
the
12:57
sketch and we will click on here whole
13:00
viser
13:01
option and uh first we will provide the
13:05
through drill which is of
13:08
8.3 and here end condition we will say
13:11
through all so 8.3 mm drill and here is
13:14
a whole cut type and we will select here
13:17
counter sync and counter Sync here we
13:20
can see that uh diameter is a
13:24
17 and uh angle is here given 882 so we
13:28
will we will provide here the angle
13:31
82 and click on
13:35
okay so this is how we have created the
13:38
counter s hole and now we will move to
13:41
the next step which is to create this uh
13:45
slotted cut so we will select the phase
13:47
and click on the
13:50
sketch and we will switch to the
13:54
isometric
13:55
View and from here we will switch to the
13:58
flat lines
13:59
and now first thing which we will do is
14:02
to we will first create a
14:04
hole of Dia
14:10
26 Dia 26 and uh this whole position is
14:14
from the AG is of
14:17
25 so we will click on the project
14:21
geometry select uh smart
14:25
Dimension select this and this and
14:27
provide the dimension of for
14:30
25 and uh we will also project this age
14:35
to fix the position of the circle select
14:38
the smart Dimension select this and this
14:42
and uh provide the value 30 mm and
14:46
now we will create this
14:49
slot so we will uh create
14:53
uh rectangle and from here we will
14:56
select a trim tool
15:00
press contrl
15:04
Z delete this and click on the trim trim
15:09
this and this and uh we will add a
15:14
three-point Arc
15:19
here and we will add a
15:27
tangency but the point here is not merge
15:30
so we will select this and this and make
15:34
it
15:36
coincidence
15:40
now select a smart Dimension and provide
15:43
this uh slot width of
15:50
13.5 and select uh this point and this
15:55
point and add a vertical relation
16:02
in this case it will be the
16:09
horizontal okay and uh now we will
16:13
provide a dimension from Center to this
16:16
Center is of 35 so select the dimension
16:20
select this and this and provide the
16:23
dimension of a
16:24
35 so our uh sketch is fully constraint
16:29
click on the
16:31
cut and say it through
16:36
all click on okay and here is a common
16:39
note fillet and round of
16:41
R3 you can provide the fillet of R3 a
16:44
desire location so this is how we have
16:48
modeled this offset guide from the
16:51
scratch with the help of a part design
16:54
workbench so this is all about this
16:56
