More Attempts in Solidworks

In this image I attempted to replicate a windows flag. The flag was constructed using the following steps:
  • An equation-driven spline (using y=sin(x) between 0 and 2 pi) was sketched on the front plane.
  • This curve was offset, and then the ends were joined.
  • This face was then extruded by a distancce of 2 pi [mm].
  • Two rectangles were sketched on the top plane, and an extruded cut feature with a through-all distance parameter was applied to this sketch plane.
  • This resulted in the part being split into 4 bodies, which I then apllied textures to and rendered in Photoview 360.

Here I was experimenting with recording and using macros. I recorded a macro to offset the boundary of the selected face inwards 10mm, and then to extrude cut this new sketch inwards the same amount. The object is meaningless, but in creating was useful practice for becoming a more efficient Solidworks user.
