These can be created using ‘camera options’ or the ‘split window’ drop-down in the display tab. The ‘ pyramid’ itself is your sight cone or field of vision at any given position of the ‘eye’. The blue line is the line of sight when looking straight ahead.

The green dot at the top of this ‘pyramid’ is the camera lens/eye. When setting up a flythrough mode, typically the screen is split with one viewport to show the camera position and one for flying through.Ī short video tutorial and the key components of setting up a flythrough are shown below: 1. It is a feature available in DesignSpark Mechanical v5.0 and newer versions. There are many blender tutorials you can look through for similar resultsThis is a display mode intended to give you the impression you are inside the model looking around. No direct urgent need either since I mostly use blender and lightwave, but when I enter 3D printing, I think I would like to spend some time with that as well.Īs for the 3D tutorial by phil nolan, don´t know how good it is or what extra it can bring to the table. The tragedy is however that I haven´t had time to work with Designsparks mechanical that much.

Some pretty awesome stuff you can do, and always parametrical to go in and edit measurement after a fillet, or scale etc, varied fillet diameters etc, cloning, pipes, draw on surface etc.Ī reminder of solid works, easier to work with than free cad, though freecad has some more powerful tools.but isn´t as user friendly, I tried to get an engineer to start up with freecad when we neededĪ tool to be constructed, so I tried to instruct him in to the 3D world, but he didn´t like freecad, then I suggested Designsparks, and that he liked and could use. I found that design sparks mecanical offered more stuff, and quite easy to use as well, while moi was too simplified.and a huge difference in cost, where moi costs, designsparks is free.
