Love the video idea ( 1picture 1000 words 1 video 1000 pictures) the screen was a little small though, kinda sitting with the nose pressed against the monitor. Thanks for a great blog

Hi Lars,
I am looking at other software that will help me capture better video... But still not bad for my first try.

An excellent video
What I liked best is that you put all the relevant information about what this video was about right up front in the first few frames.
So many times you open videos on You Tube and have to watch 2 minutes before discovering that the video does not talk about what you were expecting
I would still like to see a short description of the video in the blog post talking about what specific technique - ie surface cut, you will be demonstrating.
Apart from that I think its a fantastic first try.
Hope you do it again!

Hi Adrian,
Thatz a good point about putting more information about the techniques discussed in the video on the actual post. I will have to do that next time. This will not be the last video I produce and with everybodies input each one will be better then the last.

Alex - Nice video guy! I think you are hard on yourself about your voice and production quality! I is great! Another cool thing with the split part is you could have cut the part with just your sketch as well without having to create the surface! Obviously it depends on how crazy you want to split it but awesome video! Best - Lou

We often have to do this as well. Unfortunately your video does not show up. It might be our firewall settings or it might be your post.. We are not allowed to have streaming video, in case we watch cats playing the piano, or rednecks truck surfing when we should be doing something useful. We can see videos from Ricky Jordan's blog. I'm sure we are not alone in the video ban world.
If there is a way to describe the process i would be interested.

Hi Doug, I think that is a good idea. Since my videos are youTube videos, I am not surprised that they are blocked by some companies. I think in the coming week I will do a special article detailing the steps shown in the video. Thanks for the input.

Love this man.. I've always done it this way, but of late, I'm really digging the ability to split the part up into mutliple bodies, so you can maintain a single part file, with all the 'parts/bodies' within it until the point where you might need entries in a data management system and separate part references..
Oh and Mr. Doyle show me a neat little trick which I never thought about for a linear split - where you use a reference plane instead of a surface - slightly less heavy model.. New Lip and Groove thing rocks with this TOO..

Thanks ever so much for going to the time and effort to produce this website, have been using your tutorial to splt an engine head step file that Iam re designing as part of my dissertation for mechanical enginering without all the information available here I would have not been able to finish the project, the guides are really clear and just awesom miles better than the solidworks help and anything they showed us at uni thanks again

Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for the kind words and for being a reader. The site is just days away from its one year anniversary and I still feel really good when I hear from readers. Good luck on your dissertation and don't forget to spread the word about the site.

With eighteen years experience with SDRC Ideas V5.i to NX ideas 5m3, what would be the learning curve switching to solidworks. I would (my peers also) consider myself an advanced user.

Hi James,
I sent you an email but a good site to check out would be my friend Brian Slick at http://clingingtoideas.blogspot.com/ . I believe he made the transistion last year....but I could be wrong.
