Create an Undercut with Powercopy

How to create an undercut with powercopies – enjoy! Please watch this more detailed and longer video, because the 3MC Undercut is missing an important element: https://youtu.be/_SmJGJw2FL8

Output from Sketch Axis & Plane

There is a very easy and quick way to create reference 3d axis and planes. Enjoy!

Geometrical Sets & Ordered Geometrical Sets

The main differences between Geometrical Sets & Ordered Geometrical Sets. The geometrical sets allow a far more flexible structure of your models. Enjoy!

Raster Images placed as Material

You can import Raster Images without the Sketchtracer or the Sticker – you can special created materials for that pupose – enjoy! Please note there will be at least 2 – 3 more 3MC videos where I explain how to create those materials and Images.

Get Raster Images cropped & squared for use as material

I use irfanview 64 – which is a free software tool – in order to crop and „square“ the images for the use as textures in the catia v5 material library – enjoy!

Create Materials for Raster Images

First copy your default material library to a folder of your choice/desktop, because it is write-protected. Open the copy. Create a new material family – then copy a material with an image/texture and edit. Change to planar and change the material size to your size by pixels and change the transparency. Save your library file and open it with the „apply material“ window. Enjoy!

Create a Rigid FixTogether (almost like a block)

You can create FixTogethers in a sketch, which work almost like a block.

Layers in Catia v5 - Create & Switch Layers

For all of you, who want to use layers in Catia v5 – this is the first of a few videos on this topic. Enjoy!

Visualisation Filters - Layer Filters

In order to use layers in catia v5 you have to create Visualisation Filters / Layer Filters – enjoy
