A large emphasis of this class is put on the participant to independently create design examples based on drawings that are then discussed in class. This way you will create Surface quilt which is displayed in Quilt color on the drawing. In Part mode you can select specific model faces and create their copy (CTRL+C, CTRL+V). A lot of people can build models in CREO, but few can make good, intuitive and stable models that require little time to edit. Color from model is displayed on the drawing only if you color whole model (not specifiic model faces). This course will teach you how to handle references and construct your model with Design Intent to be able to handle changes in a predictable way. Datums include coordinate systems (csys), points, axes, planes, curves/sketches. Datums and surfaces allow engineers to orient and place parts more accurately. Because of this, making stable models that are easy to edit should be a priority for anyone interested in cutting down on development time and having the designers spend more time designing and less time fighting the software. Skeleton Feature Types: Datums & Surfaces Skeleton models have to be oriented and placed correctly in order to line up in the right way. It is important to recognize that most designers spend more time editing models and drawings than making new ones. Many designers will recognize the problems inherent in parametric modeling: unstable models that are difficult to edit, missing references and tedious design work trying to fix a broken model, bad models being copied over and over for use in new designs. Rather, it will focus on helping you develop a design philosophy in the software.

This course is not about learning new functions and commands in CREO (though most users will walk away having learned a few new commands).
