Easiest way to design a spaceframe chassis

Hey guys!!!
Ever wondered how CAD professionals design a complicated automotive chassis in minutes?
Its only because of a feature called "weldments" in solidworks.
Just make a 3D sketch or import it from other tools and add a cross-section to it!!!
Scroll down to the video to see actually how to do it.




STEPS:

• Create a 3D sketch using the sketch feature.

• GO to weldments tab and select structural member

• Select each closed sketch and press add group

• Then select open sketches individually


• Take care of the joints ...should not be open.

• You are done :-)
