If this was a college course, I'd being getting an A since your such an instructor who can take difficult things and make them look simple and easy. Thanks

[lucylarkman]

Ah so basically, the intersect and split is a similar principal to the subtract and trim. One takes away and one leaves the pieces. Thanks for this learned a lot

Aaron, If I have an internal surface that I need. I created them by pressing the ctrl key when extruding a cylindrical solid and then grouping them. It would not treat that as a solid. Is there a workaround to this?

[mariannamazzanti]

This is exactly the explanation I needed! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! ^^

In the case of the pins in the plate, make all the pins a group, then subtract them from the plate.

I wish I could like this twice as thats how many times I have watched.

[michaelcampbell]

Any way I can get this file, so I can use these videos with my class?

[PemboDave]

Thank Aaron. Any chance you show the use of these in site works for a building and sloping retainer wall on a sloping house site?

[batiza-org]

Thank you so much! Very informative and easy to understand! God bless you!

[jeffbrowne]

Thank you - never used solid tools before. Cutting mortises to match tenons in my woodworking plans just got way easier.

[davecolburn]

Best. Solids. Tutorial. E V E R. Thank you! Also, I really like the “green screening” at start and end so I get more real estate dedicated to the tutorial (instead of split with you on video).

To cut 4 holes all together, you may Select 4 cylinders -> Outer shell -> subtract

[marcellis]

Great to have this video to refresh the memory before using solid tools in the future...

That peanut butter cup wrapper looks like a tricky shape to make. I’m not sure how to approach it.

[datogelashvili]

You can not imagine (Author), what you have done to my life with this video

[arturgrzybowski]

Oh, quick one.
Outer shell is better for 3d printing?
And next question will be, when solid element looses it.
When I work with model to be printed is best to keep it simple, solid. But is not the same with bit more complex ones.
Is there a tool to correct it, or check where something is wrong?

[jayshockey]

Great stuff Aaron! I never really knew much about solid tools but soooo do now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
