1 | How It's Modeled: Basket Weave Pattern | #solidworks #solidworkstutorial

Welcome to Episode 1 of the "How It's Modeled" series! In this quick breakdown, we walk through the Feature Tree of a complex Basket Weave Pattern modeled entirely in SolidWorks. This video takes you step-by-step from the initial base surfaces and ruled surfaces, through the intricate linear and circular patterns needed to build the flat lattice. Finally, we reveal how to merge everything with the Combine tool and use the powerful Deform tool along a spline to give the weave its realistic 3D curvature. Key Tools & Workflows Covered: Ruled Surface & Trim Surface Knitting surfaces into a Solid Body Complex Circular and Linear Patterns Combine Tool (Merging multiple bodies) Deform Tool (Using Splines and Arcs to bend the solid body) This technique was used in a real-world client project!
