Presenting With Solid Edge Content

Communication 101

1. Audience = Improve material

2. Tools to speak for you

3. There is art in what we do.

4. Never waste a chance to sell.

5. It’s your work. Display it well.

2015-XX-XX



Basic Presentation Theory

You’ve all heard these facts about public speaking

- 70% is how we look.

- 20% how we say

- <10% what we say.

Your work will be seen more than you will be heard.

- The work outlives us, personally and professionally.

- The audience is anybody… now

- The work will go places you will not.

The Audience is watching

How do you communicate?

“Design is the communication of the solution” – Tin Man Lau

Engineers like to speak in numbers and pictures.

- Clarity

- Universal Language (no translation)

- No grammar

Drawings explain the Logic of a system

- Refined over time

- Answers known questions

- Can be summed to test

2015-XX-XX



Too Much Information

Devil is in the Details

Drawings can overwhelm with detail

Need organization

Design Better, Communicate Better

Sometimes, we communicate with others (not engineers!)

- Assembly Line

- Marketing

- Advertisement

- Training

- Service and Maintenance

- User

- Client

- Customer

These people need better images to complete your vision

Tips for best results


Movie Maker DemoDemo 3

Establish Context

- Understanding a new idea is best described from General to Specific

- A movie is divided into segments called “sequences”

- Editing makes these divisions apparent

- Viewers mentally assemble the sequences

Editing your Story

- A sequence is divided into “Shots”

- Individual images or animation elements

- Establishing Shot(s)

- Breakdown Shots

2015-XX-XX



- Give context to where the action occurs

- Could be the place where your product is used or created.

- The time at which your process is used.

- Describe the situation under which your product or system is used.

- Don’t be afraid of text to describe location

- cardinal directions

- dimensions

- Plan views for inside buildings

- good use for drawings

- Use Google Earth for location

See Through Assembly

X-Ray Parts

- Apply an X-Ray material in KeyShot

2015-XX-XX



Hide it Beautifully

Hide Everything Else

- Never underestimate HIDE command

- Make use of the empty space (Zoom in)

- Use establishing shot first to show context

2015-XX-XX



- Keep the action in center of the frame

- Subtle movements require close ups

- Add stills to show before and after

Mechanisms

Make Movement Interesting

2015-XX-XX



Mechanisms

Exploded Views

Blow their minds

- Enhance (mark up) with Photoshop or Power Point

- Explode flow lines do not render in KeyShot

- When using “Stills”, include an assembled and exploded view

2015-XX-XX



Exploded Views

2015-XX-XX



Run from the Border

Use the Entire Frame

- Corporate commonality requires identity elements

- Borders

- Colors

- Logos

- Legal Notices

- These elements reduce your effective canvas

- Place and use these elements effectively

- No one ever complains about looking at a beautiful image

- Keep and promote your corporate identity with some style
