Thank you for watching my video. It can be challenging if the color setting is set too low such that the maximum region of deviation is beyond the color scale. What I usually do is drag the color setting to the right until there is no red on the screen. In this situation the maximum real deviation is represented with a yellow color (i.e. the next color in the legend). I use that to understand the maximum deviation value. I then slide the color settings to the left until the maximum value in the legend is just slightly above the maximum deviation value that I previously determined. I then match color on screen to the legend. There isn't really a way to select an area on the compare body and see how far it deviates from the source body. That would be a nice enhancement. Please visit www.solidworks.com/enhancements to submit an enhancement idea for this.

@@Jeremya74the resoled shoes are still going strong. Thanks for watching the video.

@@Jeremya74 thank you for watching the video. As shown in the video I resolved the issue by having the boots resoled by a cobbler.

@solidworks, plz the same Q

+ @onlyforkids533 First, thank you for watching my video. I am not 100% certain of the study requirements for an exam that includes sustainable design. I think there are two certifications (including one in the education space) that includes sustainable design practices. You can learn more about certification exams here: www.solidworks.com/solidworks-certification-program The description of one of the exams indicates that using SOLIDWORKS sustainability is part of the exam (if that is in fact the case then my video will be helpful). There are also resources at my.solidworks.com related to certification exams.

one last note, I believe that you will also need the SOLIDWORKS Sustainable Design guide as a study resource ( www.solidworks.com/sw/docs/sustainability_wb_brake_assem_2011_eng.pdf )

Greg, Thank you for question and thank you for watching my video. It is possible to subtract a mesh brep body from a classic brep body using the combine command (with the classic brep body the main body). When you say "3d scan converted to a mesh body" you mean *.stl file imported then converted to a mesh brep body and not a graphics body, correct? Please see the first video for the definition of these body types. It is not possible to subtract a graphics body from a classic brep body. Note you must be using SOLIDWORKS 2022 or later for hybrid mesh bodies.

I opened the 3d scan (*.stl) with (all files) using open and it came in as (Graphic1) in the feature tree. Not (Mesh1) in the feature tree. Then used the convert to mesh command. I think that means its then becomes a Mesh brep body. When I tried to use combine it was greyed out. Also, when you open as (all files) It comes in as (Graphic1) in the tree and most of the Scan to 3d commands wizards are greyed out. If you open with (Scan to 3d) file types, the (*.stl) comes in as a (Mesh1) in the tree and the Scan to 3d command wizards are not greyed out. Do I have to use the convert to mesh with a (Mesh1) from the tree and not the (Graphic1) from the tree? -Thank You, greg (using Solidworks Pro 2024) It won't let me pick (Mesh1) in the tree when using the convert to mesh command. would holes in the mesh brep body not allow a combine command? The vertex ribs are all grey and not black on my 3d scan so it is a Mesh brep body but combine still wont work. My graphic body is open. Your graphic body is closed in part 2. I couldn't reach some deep slots with the scanner. large gapping open areas in the 3d scan/mesh. I'm hoping that's why it wont combine. I'm going to try and rescan to make it closed. If that's what it means by being (open) Thanks again Marlon!

@@GregVillegas-c2d Please disable the Scan to 3D add-in. The mesh functionality in core SOLIDWORKS is independent of Scan to 3D. A mesh brep body is not that same as the "mesh" body generated in Scan to 3D. Once imported the graphics body should be converted to a mesh brep body. Please review the mesh modeling videos to learn about the three body types (graphics body, mesh brep and classic brep) and how to convert to mesh brep.

I watched your vid 1... 3 or 4 times and paused it on the 3 different Brep bodies and read it. I'm familiar with it now. Solidworks is not allowing the combine with an open mesh? Or its because I opened the STL with scan to 3d plug in on? Thank you very much Marlon! I've been trying all week to do that one command. I thought Solidworks would be able to do it. 2024 Solidworks Pro...All you have to do is open the file. Not import. I dont remember how it went with the other revisions. Im greg v not at work.

I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for watching my video.

...and thank you for watching my video.

It does seem to be a niche service provided by only a few vetted cobblers. Thank you for watching my video.

Thank you for watching my video. Other than this issue, I really like my Asolo boots but maybe I will give one of these other brands a try.

Thank you for watching my video. I can say that my repaired boots are still holding up well after all this time. That does seem an expensive repair though.

Ivan thanks so much for watching my videos. I am happy to hear that you will recommend them to members of your user group.

Thanks for watching my video.

Thank you for watching my video I am glad it is helpful.

Thank you for watching my video. The answer to your question is yes, the two bodies must be co-located. This is usually the case when you are building classic brep geometry referencing a mesh. Highly recommend view the following videos to learn more about the advanced mesh modeling capabilities in SOLIDWORKS: ruclips.net/video/Q4x7lRHnvss/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BEViSsD6zso/видео.html

@@mbanta thank you for your reply, I have a SW part which gets exported as .stl and modified/ remeshed in another software, now I would like to compare the original brep part with the modified .stl and was thinking on using an assembly. I convert the graphics body into a sw mesh body but assembly mates do not work to co-locate the 2 bodys...any advice on how to proceed?

@@frittenpeter if you watch my other videos on mesh modeling in SOLIDWORKS you can see how geometry can be added to the mesh. Adding sketch geometry and reference geomety is one way to add references that can be used to create assembly mates. My mesh modeling videos are: ruclips.net/video/Q4x7lRHnvss/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BEViSsD6zso/видео.html

If the scanned part is a mesh (as opposed to a point cloud) you actually can measure to mesh facets, fins and vertices. You can also use these to create a reference plane from which you can measure. I would recommend watching these two videos on the powerful mesh functionality in SOLIDWORKS to become more familiar how to work with mesh geometry in SOLIDWORKS: ruclips.net/video/Q4x7lRHnvss/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BEViSsD6zso/видео.html

I would say that the repaired boots are holding up well since they were repaired. I would also say that I do notice a slight difference between the repaired boots and the original, in that the original seemed a little softer when I stepped on a hard surface... when I am paying attention. However, I have been on long hikes with the repaired boots and they have felt fine. I believe the new soles are Vibram Bifida 1375. They don't have a midsole but as i understand it they come in either a single hardness or dual hardness (hard outer sole, softer where the boot is glued to the sole). This dual hardness is, I believe, meant to compensate for the lack of a midsole. Given the communication I enjoyed with Dave Page Cobbler, I bet they would happily communicate with you about these concerns.

Excellent question. I am currently considering getting my Asolos resoled using their service in Italy. I assume that they put a new midsole on the shoe, but who knows.

First thank you for watching my video. I will have to check out boots with Norwegian Welt Soles. I will say that my repaired boots are still holding up really well since I got them in April 2022.

They are saved to SOLIDWORKS 2023. Note that you can add a column to windows explorer that indicates the last version to which a file has been saved ( see www.javelin-tech.com/blog/2019/07/display-solidworks-file-version-in-windows-explorer/ ).

Thank you for your kind words and for watching my video. Note that I have a fully updated set of tutorials on mesh modeling in SOLIDWORKS on this channel. The two videos are: ruclips.net/video/Q4x7lRHnvss/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/BEViSsD6zso/видео.html

you should be able to control the snapping to mesh vertices with the following system option: Tools -> Options -> System Options -> Sketch -> Relations/Snaps -> Snap to endpoints... This applies for all body types. The reason it is more noticeable on mesh based geometry is because there are a large number of facets in a faceted model, each with three vertices. Thank you for watching my video.

Mesh files have the same watertight/manifold rules as SOLIDWORKS solid body geometry. This is especially true when you attempt to convert a graphics body to a mesh brep body. As a graphics body the tools in SOLIDWORKS allow you to remove offending facets in different ways. This can resolve overlapping and intersecting facet issues. If the removed facets present a problem you can fill the hole by converting to mesh brep and using something like delete hole or other features to fill in the hole. In SOLIDWORKS 2022 or beyond this may create a hybrid mesh body. Note that there are also many free mesh editing tools available for download that have automated tools for cleaning up the mesh. The issue with these is that the run an algorithm for which you may have little control so the result may not always be what you want. Thanks for watching my video.

@@mbanta excelent!!! Thanks Marlon. Your videos is very good. ✌🏻

I think about ten years. But depending on the exposure to water and amount of usage it can be a much shorter interval of time. The replacement soles are still holding up well.

Thank you very much for watching my video. I also greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you to better understand your ideas. One thing I would say is that not all users have the ability to work with a scanning service. I would also say that with the hybrid mesh and mesh brep tools we provide, getting a "real" solid is often not even be required. This can save users quite a bit of time and resources while still allowing them to reference and incorporate mesh geometry in their models. The second mesh video in the series discusses this in more detail.

Thank you for your nice comment and thank you for watching my video.
