How to save your animations as GIFs in SolidWorks

33 3 Intermediate
Do you want to know how to make GIFs of your animations? Ever asked yourself how they did it? Here I'll show you how to make seamless GIFs from your animations using SolidWorks, as well as PhotoScape... I chose PhotoScape as it has decent results, doesn't cause any bumping & - most important - is for free. You can download the latest version from here: http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php

Most of us find it boring to keep repeating the same mates between the same parts within large assemblies, so we make "Sub-assembly" files to work with. But unfortunately, the default configuration for ALL sub-assemblies makes them "rigid"; as if they were a single part. Here we'll know how to make them "flexible", and in the easiest way possible.

How to make 3D posts of your models on Facebook

Facebook has just updated their new feature that enables 3D viewing in posts... This feature has been around for some time, but the new update supports the industry-standard glTF 2.0 file format. This allows us to share 3D content on Facebook, whichever the designing software used was. Here I'll show you how to turn your 3D files into GLB, the only extension Facebook reads till now. By the way, GLB file format is a binary form of glTF that includes textures instead of referencing them as external images, so don't worry about the output's quality.

While rendering with PhotoView 360, the Final Render might show your model cut - from below - as if a plane sliced through it, although the Integrated Preview (in SolidWorks) shows your model perfectly. I had this issue a couple times, so I thought that others might have it too. So here I'll show you how to fix this problem.

I've noticed that many "GrabCad"ers still don't know how to mention each other. Some just type his/her name, while others copy his profile's URL !!! The problem is that every place has it's own way, so I've gathered all possible ways to mention another user in GrabCad.
