Experiment with geometry changes
- [Instructor] Now that we've created the front triangle, we can have a look at playing around with our geometry and seeing how this affects the frame. So from within the assembly, let's have a look at it. It's looking pretty good. But one thing I can immediately say is if we zoom in here, this down tube is a little bit too low down where it joins the head tube. Ideally, we want a bit more clearance for the head tube cups that go in here. So we need to move this down tube upwards a little bit. And luckily this is quite an easy fix. All we have to do is edit the layout sketch, so click on it and press edit sketch. And then I'm just going to go to a side view. And all we have to do is double-click on this 30, and then let's adjust it to maybe 50. And as I do, you can see that line moves, but the model doesn't update. Let's accept that 50 and then exit the sketch. Now to update the model, we need to rebuild it. So you can…
