Moving from Beginners Tutorials

and moving into the big league. When you move from Alias std. start-up tutorials, to taking on top flight production tolerance tutorials,  it is really difficult, if not impossible to build a “Perfect” model without having several attempts at it. It’s very easy to get despondent or depressed when your model doesn’t have the perfect seamless surface blends and the high qual. trimmed edges etc.What I did in the past was to set myself reasonable goals. I would make a model to a reasonable quality at mt first attempt. Forget about trying to hit Catia V4 or 5 tolerances. Not trying to achieve what was at that time well beyond my skills and then when I started the second or third attempt, Iwould feel very positive, because I would realise that I have actually learned a lot. What seemed really complicated and difficult to follow and do the first time around, started to become a little easier and more understandable on the second or if called for the third attempt.I have had my lower-intermediate students working really hard, way out of their comfort zones, trying to build a sports watch. I am basing this watch on an excellent tutorial written by Jopshua Maruska.I have told them that on the first build I am not expecting to see tight tolerances and have allowed them as I used to to set their cons. prefs. to user tolerances. This allows them to build a model which is correct at their level, without having to know the advanced techniques required to achieve say Catia V4.Joshua Maruska has several tutorials at:http://aliasdesign.autodesk.com/learning/tutorials/[slickr-flickr tag=”sports watch 2″]To Learn Alias Automotive to Industry Entry level has been made easier.
