This is a foil or paper honeycomb ornament. A little computer intensive due to its large patterns, but worth the wait. This model uses boundary surfaces to create a diamond shape. That diamond is then patterned in two directions to make the honeycomb geometry before it is trimmed into its final shape.

This fun part has two configurations showing the collapsed and open states of the geometry. The geometry in this part acts similar to a pop up greeting card. One angle dimension in the base sketch controls the geometry along with two equations to help to open and close the geometry.

A toy Rocking Horse that can be scaled up or down to be used in renderings or as a 3D printed figurine, an ornament, etc.

This is a simple wooden toy truck utilizing lots of shared contour sketches with extrudes and revolves. "Offset" from Sketch Plane and the "Vertex" offset are used to create multiple pieces by reusing multi-contour sketches. Shared sketches for cuts, extrudes and revolves, save time and help facilitate easier modifications.There is an example of a circular pattern that uses an “Offset From Surface” cut to create the tire treads.

This model is created with all solid body features except for the eye geometry that was created with a surface. The surface features include a filled surface with a 3D constraint curve and a few offset surfaces. There is one example of a 3D sketch using the "spline on surface" relation which is placed on a offset copied surface. There are two cut with surfaces features to show a small sample of Hybrid Modeling techniques.

This model is intended to demonstrate the power of equations and their ability to suppress and unsuppress features based on input from Custom Properties. Simply type in a time, and the clock will respond by displaying the appropriate numbers after a rebuild.

This model is intended to demonstrate the power of the Variable Pattern feature. The bottom head contains the original Mouth, Teeth, Nose and Eyes features. The other three heads are patterned using Variable Pattern. Each instance is driven by a spreadsheet containing varying dimensions that drive the sketches of each feature. The result is that each head of the Tiki contains unique facial expressions, even though they were modeled only one time.

Making a list and checking twice. Just in time for the holidays, the elves just put a new coat of wax on the sleigh. This multi-body part is made of mostly extruded features. Where possible, most of the geometry is mirrored to save time. Two sketch driven patterns place the presents and snowflakes. The pattern for the presents is a very unique case of where a 3D sketch is used to place and scale the presents. Both the presents and snowflakes are scaled to give a less "uniform" appearance of the patterns. To give more randomness to the present pattern, some of the presents are rotated using the move/copy bodies command. To facilitate the scaling of the presents, multiple coordinate systems are added to control the location of the presents so they stay coincident with the bench seats and/or the floor.Other features include thin features, circular patterns, combines, spirals, full round fillets, one boundary, and a split line curve. Download this model to learn more about spirals, sketch driven patterns, coordinate systems, scaling and rotating geometry, and this cool ride.

There are two different configurations in the model showing two different techniques to create very similar geometry. The first method streamlines the design by minimizing the numbers of features and uses simple commands to create the geometry. The second method uses sweeps and patterns and is also efficient in its own right, keeping the feature countdown to minimum.
