Lesson 4 - Using Split, Move and Combine bodies - SolidWorks Tutorial: LEGO Off-Road Buggy

Welcome to Lesson 4 of the SolidWorks x LEGO - Build & Learn series! In this lesson, we push our SolidWorks skills further by transforming a 2x5 configuration of the 2x2 plate into a brand-new bracket part using advanced features.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

How to use Split Bodies, Move Bodies, and Combine Bodies to create complex parts from simple shapes.

Adding detailed features to refine the design and make it assembly-ready.

Incorporating the new bracket part, along with a few others, into the growing assembly.

This lesson is perfect for anyone looking to expand their understanding of multi-body part modeling and how to integrate components into larger assemblies. Let’s keep building and learning together!
