If Alibre is capable of designing parts for actual trains, then it is perfectly capable of designing parts for model trains. Sure, based on the tier of Alibre you buy it will be relatively easier or harder, but that's about it.

You can't argue with that!!! All the best guys!

Nice approach and use of the parameters that come in with the catalog feature! Cool vid!

Really cool vid. Well done Harold!

Wow, really cool approach Stu. Very interesting solution. And of course, I agree that Ty's trick is amazing. Genius in its simplicity

Very true. I have. One planetary gear set ready for delivery. Really cool add-in to be honest.

Toolbox is available only in expert. But you do have the Excel Add-In in Atom 3D. Although it can't replicate the raw power of the Toolbox you could setup a couple of workflows with it that will allow you to do things a bit faster. If you have something specific in mind let us know and we...

Airwick got it! A deserving champion for this Spring Open. I'll practice and try to go further on the next one guys.

Thanks a lot, man! I think I might even have enough material for a second one. But these are definitely the important ones.

So, here's a compilation of various little tips and tricks I use daily in Alibre. Some you can find in older videos of mine, some are updates from those videos and some are new. Let me know what you think guys and if you have any other little tips and tricks you use and you'd like to share with...

If you have the table as a text file and do not want to remake it, then you need to use the excel plug in. Otherwise, you can definitely input the offsets in the equation editor and use them from there.

What is the issue Harold, I can't understand..?

I'm not sure what the problem is. In 3D sketching, the grid is not supposed to follow any particular position. It's just there to show you the direction you're sketching at. The cursor and elevation will give you more accurate information.

Hey HPM, check my 3D sketch video in the tutorials and let me know if there's something more you re looking for. However, bear in mind that any model can be developed with 2D sketches on various planes. But 3D sketch has certainly got its place.

It would seem that all of the numbers in that equation are natural numbers, i.e. do not have any units. That in turn means that the Db value you're trying to calculate does not have any units but you are trying to use it as a length. That is why the error is thrown. Now, why the result appears...
