Parametric Modeling in SOLIDWORKS | Designing Symmetric Parts:Bearing Housing CASESTUDY (Session 05)

Symmetry is not about looks. In parametric modeling, symmetry is about control, stability, and clean change behavior. In this session, we design a bearing housing and show how symmetric sketches and features should be built — not just drawn. 🎯 What this session focuses on This is a case-study driven session where symmetry is used intentionally, not accidentally. You’ll learn how to: Build symmetric sketches that update predictably Reduce unnecessary dimensions Keep feature trees clean and readable Maintain design intent when dimensions change 🧠 Tools & techniques covered (with purpose) 🔹 1. Mirror (Sketch & Feature Level) When to mirror geometry When mirroring creates dependency problems How mirror affects parametric behavior 🔹 2. Dynamic Mirror How to sketch once and grow symmetrically Why Dynamic Mirror is faster and cleaner for early sketching Common mistakes that break symmetry 🔹 3. Symmetric Sketch Relations How symmetric relations actually control movement Difference between visual symmetry and constrained symmetry Why symmetric relations reduce dimension count 🔹 4. Feature End Conditions Blind vs Mid-Plane vs Up-To-Surface Why Mid-Plane is critical for symmetric parts How end conditions protect symmetry during revisions 🔹 5. Sketch Trim Tool (Done Right) When trimming helps When trimming destroys design intent How to trim without breaking constraints 🏗️ Case Study: Bearing Housing Using a bearing housing example, we apply all the above concepts in a real modeling workflow — from sketch to stable solid. Every decision is explained: Why this sketch is symmetric Why this feature uses a mid-plane Why mirroring is used (or avoided) Blog for reading material: https://designkatha.blogspot.com/2025...
