Lesson 6 - Recreate geometry from a STEP file - SolidWorks Tutorial: LEGO Off-Road Buggy

Welcome to Lesson 6 of the SolidWorks x LEGO - Build & Learn series! In this lesson, we take a step into advanced workflows by learning how to import and recreate STEP files in SolidWorks to create fully editable parts.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How to download and import STEP files into SolidWorks.
• Techniques for recreating geometry using SolidWorks tools like Delete Face, Measure, and Thin Features.
• Tips for removing dependencies from imported files to ensure your parts are fully editable.
• Applying these methods to recreate a specific LEGO piece with accuracy and precision.

This lesson is perfect for anyone looking to expand their SolidWorks knowledge, especially when working with third-party files or pre-made geometry. By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a new, editable part ready for use in your assembly. Let’s dive in and keep building smarter and faster!
