Chapter 22Working with Large Scale Design

According to SolidWorks marketing materials, “Large Scale Design brings together the tools you need to effectively design machinery, heavy equipment, plants, small ships, and other large objects.”

Large Scale Design encompasses topics exclusively covered in this chapter: Walk-through animation, GridSystem, IFC export, Large Design Review, and Facility Layout. Although Large Scale Design also uses standard SolidWorks functionality such as sketching, part modeling, assembly modeling, weldments, and drawings, these latter topics don't have Large Scale Design–specific capabilities at this time.
