Its Not so difficult, in fact once you understand how to model these you can also make an automatic machining, for these i have them to look as they might be hand cut. Tooling was designed in TopSolid and used to machine the drawers.

TopSolid Planner is now available, Much like 20-20 design it allows the non-engineer to use TopSolid models for sales presentation and job quotes, unlike 20-20 and other similar systems the manufacturer has total control of the configuration of the models and their functionality. The manufacturer al...

Traditionally TopSolid Mold and Cam have been the strong products of Missler, in these markets there are other good products, Where Missler is seeing the most growth is with TopSolid Wood where there is no real competition. If you wish to exploit your skills with TopSolid there is much opportunity w...

Robert, in fact you already have this video, on the resource disc that i provide to my customers there is a video in the surfaces folder called control points modification, if you cant find it on the disc the videos are also posted on my FTP.

TopSolid V7 has an interop to take files back to V6 platform, also you can take your files from V6 into V7 but you will have a loss of logic on many features, however V7.3 has ways to add this logic back into some of the parts, TopSolid V7 cam is slated for release with 7.4 later this year.

Robert, i think that this system of predefined positions was created to work with the soon coming Product Planner, this is a stand alone system for doing what you describe laying out kitchens, someone familiar with TopSolid can do this just as easily without the function by using key points and coor...

you can do this in TopSolid

hi dave

Larry with TopSolid i don't think that you need to buy a workstation card, standard G-Force Nvidia cards are fine. if you run other graphics intensive programs you might want this, but for TopSolid you wont realize enough performance gain to justify the cost.

for some things this function is a bit harsh, you might try to duplicate and choose the option "follow existing operations"

when you uninstall TopSolid it will leave the config files, i am thinking that your topwork directory may be the problem, check that you have a valid directory, you can modify this with the install cd-rom or you can use the windows registry editor. hope this helps

Robert sometimes there are problems to calculate this type of geometry, this has something to do with the Parasolid kernel. if you are having this problem you can change the X dimension value by a very small amount for instance .001 (statistically insignificant) you might have noticed that other mol...

Nice Job!

Robert i downloaded your file and made a molding on the part, make sure you do not have the option checked "join edges"
