[SOLIDWORKS] 3D Structure Creator

Functional Value

Experience design freedom with new methods for creating structure members and the ability to define custom plate profiles. Create a structure member by selecting a point and specifying a length or by selecting 2 existing members to add a secondary member between them. Break free from the standard plate libraries and design your own unique profiles based on a 2D sketch.

User Experience Value

Get a better view of your product structure with improvements to the product structure in the Design Manager & Breadcrumbs. Platform-wide user profiles facilitate a consistent user experience across all design applications. User preferences are saved to the platform so settings, such as mouse navigation settings, are consistent between applications.
