Why it’s a challenge:
Inconsistent or undocumented product rules
Cross-dependencies that are difficult to model
Rules changing frequently due to engineering updates
Solution:
Work closely with product managers and engineers to map logic
Use rule-based configuration platforms like DriveWorks or Tacton
Set up a change management system for continuous updates
what is 3d rendering
Everything in SolidWorks starts with a sketch. Sketching is done in 2D and serves as the foundation for building 3D geometry.
Select a plane (e.g., Front, Top, Right).
Use sketch tools: Line, Rectangle, Circle, Arc.
Add dimensions and constraints to control the size and relationships of your geometry.
Use the Smart Dimension tool to define exact values.
💡 Tip: Keep your sketches simple and fully defined to avoid errors later in 3D modeling.
