CATIA V5 - How to Simplify a Surface, then Flatten it in 2D

More often than not, we get surfaces that are too complex for our needs. This video shows how to take a multifaceted surface and turn it into a simple, easier to deal with element. The rough Offset will do the trick as the standard offset tool does not know how to deal with this type of information. As a bonus, we also flatten the final result and place it into a 2D drawing.

CATIA V5 - How to import IGS surfaces into V5 then Thicken

This is demo that shows how you can turn IGES surfaces into something usable. The idea is you join all the surfaces together and then copy them to a new part file so that you can thicken the model.

CATIA V5 - How to make equally spaced planes in one shot

Creating planes can be very time consuming and a labourous task. In this video we show how to create 12 planes (or more) quickly for the purpose of sectioning thru the model.

CATIA V5 - How to create a Bent Tube

This is quick demo that shows how to create a 3D sketch and use it for various purposes. In this case you don't need any fancy functions. Just simple and straight forward tools available to any CATIA user.
