Episode 01 of the Advanced Assembly Class (Uncut Series). A fully unedited SOLIDWORKS session where we open a real working dune buggy assembly, diagnose its errors, and rebuild components in real time. No fast cuts, no music, no simplification for the camera. What you see is what working in a heavy assembly actually looks like.
This series is built for engineers migrating to SOLIDWORKS from AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Creo, or Catia, and for current SOLIDWORKS users hitting the wall on heavy assemblies, in-context editing, and cascading errors. Beginners are welcome and will be stretched.

WHAT YOU LEARN IN EPISODE 01
Fixing imported STEP files with Move and Copy Bodies in part mode
Creating an assembly from parts the right way (and why the green check matters)
Anchoring the first component to the assembly origin
Concentric and coincident mates from scratch
Interference Detection workflow on selected components vs the full assembly
Editing components in part mode to resolve interference (3D sketches, weld module, fillets)
