Add Tutorial to Model Challenge

Description

Medium

GrabCAD has another tutorials challenge for you! Pick any model in GrabCAD library and show everyone how to make it. This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge with all of us and also learn something new by seeing how other people would have made your model. We are really exited to see lot of new tutorials in our Q&A section. So let’s go for it and make GrabCAD good place to learn something new every day.

It can be any model in our library as well as from your personal collection. There are no restrictions on the complexity or the number of entries. You are more than welcome to post as many tutorials as you wish and of any software.

Tutorials have to be added to our Q&A section followed by a few simple steps described below.

Requirements

Each tutorial has to be entered in the Q&A under a new, clearly asked question: http://grabcad.com/questions/new
Question should be asked as follows: How to model ''model name'' in ''software''? For example: How to model iPhone in Solid Edge?
Link to the original model has to be included under question description
Tutorials must consist of screen shots and comments in the same manner as shown above (or you can upload a video-- see below for additional video-related rule)
No tutorials in document files accepted
Video tutorials should be uploaded directly to GrabCAD. No links to other sites accepted

Rules

Winning design will be chosen based on ''It worked'' numbers in Q&A
The competition is open to everyone
You can submit several tutorials
Only tutorials entered in our Q&A will participate in the contest
One engineer can earn no more than 1 prize
Users making fake accounts to give point will be disqualified
By Copyright purposes it is highly important that the tutorial is made by the person itself not copied from other sources
Competition winner will be announced in GrabCAD’s blog

Prizes

1st - 10th prize: Ten most ''It Worked'' tutorials will equally split 500 USD. GrabCAD will add 1 USD for each added tutorial to the total amount to be split

About the jury?

The winning tutorials will be chosen by GrabCAD engineers.

@Manolis just add the video file to the answer
@Aaron we are currently working on functionality to show tutorials separately in Q&A. It is definitely coming.

Can someone do a tutorial for some good rendering tips in Solidworks. Models can be very useful but they look like $h*t if you aren't up to speed with rendering techniques. Thanks in advance ;)
