3-D Sketch Tutorial

Would anyone here know of a tutorial for 3-D Sketching, other than the
Wire Oven Rack, that is included in the Solidworks Online Tutorial?
I know that this forum is blessed with quite a few specialty experts
here on some of the many different phases of Solidworks, and yet for
some reason 3-D sketching is very rarely spoken of . I know that there
must be some finer points on the subject to cover than that particular
tutorial does, as fine a tutorial as it is.
I have a particular need to learn to sketch steam piping in many crazy
different and overlapping directions, for an antique steam powered boat
model , and I hope that the compass directions alone that the online
tutorial demonstrates is enough. Or is it?

Doesn't get much better than this....

This is a mouse tutorial that is really great at helping you understand
some 3D sketching.

another great site is
dimontegroup.com

 

The best tutorial that I have seen was from Mountain-Wave.com, (but I
can't remember exactly where). The tutorial is part of a bigger I-cast
and is fairly short/ simple but extremely informative.

Hope this helps.

Here is another one.

Note: Dimontegroup.com does not have anything on 3D sketching.

But thanks for the plug anyway - I'm glad that folks find the stuff
useful

I am not sure if the audio is working on the web player but you will
find a link just below the player right click and "save as" will get you
a much better quality video.
