Anyone have an idea of any graphical/animation tools, within the SW suite or (more likely) other software tools, where I can smoothly animate a solid body being created? Imagine that I have a closed sketch and I want to animate the volume being created as it's going through its (sweep, extrude, revolve). Any clues as to how I might do this directly, other than through brute force individual images (through a design table, for example) and then concatenating them all together to create the animation? Enhancement request, hint, hint.
Joe, again you can use the dummy body and using angle mate, you can replicate the revolve. Here is one example animation I had created to show the revolve cut away animation SolidWorks Revolve Cutaway Animation
