If someone will need to remove a faster I model the head of the fastener but nothing else. I usually do this by “Boolean-ing” all solids down to the simplest model possible. If I am trying to add a whole new production cell to a shop floor I don’t need the thread pitch of a panel mounting bolt. It takes some practice on knowing how simple to make the model but what I try to do is think about maintenance procedures. You will have to figure out what aspects are important and need to be accurately modeled and what can be represented with something as simple as a bounding box. Do not just create a solid from the mesh (Polysurface from mesh), the file will be way too large.Ģ) Reduce the complexity of existing solids. step) to replace a mesh, recreate it in solid form. If you can’t find a solid file (I prefer. I also employ the following to reduce file size… I agree with employing blocks, it helps with so many things.
