SOLIDWORKS Class 1: Interface and Navigation (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Welcome to our first SOLIDWORKS Course covering Interface and Navigation. This class is the first of our SOLIDWORKS Class Series which consists of 12 short classes ranging from 15 mins to 1.5 hrs. The series will take you from knowing nothing about SOLIDWORKS to the Certified Professional Level (CSWP)

The learning objectives for this specific class are:

How to start a new part.
What is represented in the command bar, canvas and design tree.
How to select different measurement systems for your files.
How to utilize the mouse through right clicks, zooming and rotating the model through the scroll wheel.

For this class project, you will experiment with SOLIDWORKS sketching. You will:

Open a new part
Start a sketch.
Sketch whatever shape that comes to mind by experimenting. Do not worry too much about that. 3. Next class will be all about sketching.

Watch lecture 9 for this class for details of how to go about this.

Know Your Audience - Bring Your Personas to Life! (Skillshare)

CS: Design & Product

User Personas - high-level descriptions of your target audience's needs and challenges - are becoming mainstays for software product teams. But like many other requirements documentation, they can often feel flat, overly generic, and nearly useless once development has actually begun. In becoming “just another form to fill out,” your User Personas have lost connection with their original purpose: to help product teams build connection and empathy with your primary customer base, and in doing so provide the grounding basis for fast and deliberate decision making.

Have you ever wondered how to make your models look more realistic? The key is usually that the model looks unrealistically perfect. Real-life things have wear and tear on them. That's where this class comes in. You're going to take a deep dive into learning how to use procedurally generated materials for rust and wear. By Procedurally, we mean that it's all created within blender without using externally taken photographs.
