After your responses, I did something, maybe reordering as suggested, which now makes it impossible for me not to get it to work! Either way thanks all Preben

Thanks, Stephen!

Thanks, Gents! I would like the internals to be filleted like in the first of the two above by StepAlibre. Is that Steve? It's intended for hydraulic low-flowing and low-pressure fluids, so there's no real issue, but from an aesthetic point of view, I like the rounded look. I'm a little...

I seem to have done this 1000 times, but for some reason, it escapes me this time. I need to shell to 1.2mm, sorry for the edit. Please advise. Thanks Preben

One more question please. While you were creating sketches your previously drawn sketches were shown. When I tried to make multiple sketches they all went away but for the very last one I just made when I exit sketch mode. That makes it hard to make "Projections" as I can't grab on to...

Harold, Great Video, as usual. But how do you get the measurement "ID" to appear in front of the dimension ??? Thanks

Gents, I got a new Laptop and installed both Alibre and Keyshot from Alibre's Download site. Alibre works fine. Note, though, that I must now run it in Admin mode for it to work correctly! I can also get Keyshot to run from within Alibre, but somehow I no longer get the materials shown any...

Nope! Great link! Have been playing around with, and have started to get an appreciation for, the point insertion :) That brings me to the related question, which is why I logged in now, namely, is there a way to download the help document? Thanks!!! Preben

Yes, I was trying a slightly different approach where I had hoped to generate a complete Elliptical body in both dimensions, as you both have done, but I failed. I would thereafter have cut a portion away from the top and then shell. I just found out that I used points within the sketch and...

Great, thanks! While trying to make this shape, I tried a Loft I thought should work but didn't. Three planes, like in your examples, with a point in each end plane and an oval in the middle. It came up with an "invalid body result" message. I wanted to play with the Tangency at both ends...

Great! I will play around with this idea to learn to use Alibre a bit more than I do. BTW does anybody know when Alibre was offered the first time? I stumbled on a design I had done back in 2007. Thanks, gents Preben

As a Sculptor, I find the Shape of the item in the original post absolutely beautiful! The following is not critically meant but rather an attempt to find a way to create more organic shapes like his in a faithful manner. From the images of your suggested methods of creating his shape, I find...

Ken, Thanks a lot for your input. I have created 25+ designs in Alibre, all for 3D printing, and all working out perfectly fine. So, this is a first! I imported your file, and it shows the correct geometry. P.s. I don't have my own 3D printer yet, as I'm not sure if the results are good...

I have designed a wheel bolt cover for my rare Citroen Cx. When I look at the design within Alibre, it looks fine. But when I then have a look at the STL file, in MeshMixer, then it looks like Alibre has generated a "floor," i.e. made it very thick in an area where I had it only a few mm. Does...

Sounds interesting, David, but I couldn't create what you described. I did a rectangular 2D sketch, activated a 3D sketch, and selected 2 lines only to find the 3D fillet greyed out. Please advise Thanks
