Sailboat deck and hull
This image shows the creation of a sailboat deck and hull using GW3Dfeatures
6.0.
Simple Solid Helix
Here is a Solid Helix created using a law curve. The law curve is
modified to create the animation.
Engagement Ring
Here a very complicated engagement ring is create using a variety
of GW3Dfeature surface types and construction methods. Watch the
animation as the ring is form from a simple solid into a complete
ring with
intricate
details.
Endovascular stent
design
With GW3Dfeatures it's possible to create extremely complicated surfaces
such as these vascular stents.
Blend Surface
New blend surface, shown in yellow, starts from four surfaces on
the bottom and matches to one surface on the top. The blend surface
is shaped by passing through three intermediate curves.

G3 Blend Surface
New surface between the top and bottom which has matching radius
of curvature and spine control.

Cylinder Wrap Surface
and Freeform Surface
A cylinder wrap curve input is shown in red and a freeform swept
surface following the resulting cylinder wrap curve is shown in green.

Helix Solid
Helix solid shown in yellow which follows the path shown in green.
The helix starts at the clocking point and propagates in the direction
shown by the rotation arrow.

Multi Blend Surface
The Multi Blend surface shown in yellow is bounded by the four edges
and and G2 continuity with the surfaces shown in red.

Blend Curve with Curvature
Combs Shown
A blend curve that has G3 continuity with its parent curves. The
Curvature Comb shows how magnitude of the radius of curvature along
each curve.

The following are representative samples of the new menus in GW3Dfeatures.
All the menus were rewritten to the look and feel of the menus
found in SolidWorks. This makes using power of GW3Dfeatures easy
for SolidWorks users because it uses the same input techniques
as any other menu in SolidWorks. (Click the menu to enlarge)
