Model Generation
Automated SolidWorks routines to generate rods and plates from complex geometry with guardrails and easy edits.
Making rods
Finds necessary holes from complex geometry and models rods. Warns if rods are too close so you can make changes early.
Changing rods
Easily change rods when they don't fit — supply new parameters and the macro reconstructs them for you.
Adding plates
Creates plates for rods and exports points for all rods so the customer can manufacture them accurately.
How it works
Given complex input geometry, the macro identifies required holes and generates rod models with the right parameters. It flags conflicts (like rods being too close) so users can adjust before committing.
If the result needs changes, simply provide new parameters — the macro reconstructs the rods without manual remodeling. It can also add plates and export all points for manufacturing.
- Automatic detection of holes and rod placement from conditions
- Edit by parameters (no tedious remodeling)
- Generate plates and export rod points to CSV/Excel for fabrication
