Exercise 1

Chamfer

• On the initial sketch draw a profile similar to the top of the model shown

• extrude the profile to produce the block shown

• select the top right edge

• apply a chamfer which has even setback

• select the top front edge

• apply a chamfer which has uneven setback similar to that shown in the mouseover

Exercise 2

Round

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select one edge of the top in turn and apply a constant radius round

• select a second edge and apply a constant radius of a different size to the first edge

• select the third and fourth edges in turn and apply a constant round to each

• rotate the block using the up or down arrow key

• select the bottom surface and apply the same radius to all edges at the same time

Exercise 3

Round

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select the top right edge an apply a variable radius round to this edge similar to that shown

• copy this round edge feature to the opposite top edge

Exercise 4

Draft faces

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select the right face

• draft this face in a manner similar to that shown

• use the right or left arrow keys to rotate the model

• select the right face and draft similar to that shown

Exercise 5

Shell

• On the initial sketch draw a profile similar to the top of the model shown

• extrude the profile to produce the block shown

• select the top face of the block and shell it to produce a shape similar to that shown in the mouseover

Exercise 6

Standard Holes

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select the top face

• create a new sketch on the top face naming it holes

• draw a four circles on the new sketch (i.e. on top of the block)

• create standard counterbored holes

Exercise 7

Extrusion to add material

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select the top face

• create a new sketch on the top face naming it cylinder

• draw a circle on the new sketch (i.e. on top of the block)

• extrude the new circle to add material and produce the cylinder shape shown in the mouseover

Exercise 8

Extrusion to subtract

• create a profile and extrude a block similar to that shown

• select the top face

• create a new sketch and call it cylinder

• draw a circle on the new sketch (i.e. on top of the block)

• extrude the new circle down to subtract material

• select the right face

• create a new sketch and call it endHole

• draw a a square on the right end of the block

• extrude this square to a hole through the block as shown in the mouseover

Exercise 9

Constraints

• Draw a rectangle and a circle on the initial sketch

• constraint the size of the rectangle to 100 x 120

• constrain the size of the circle to diameter 50

• constrain the position of the circle so it is in the centre (i.e. 50 and 60 from the edges)

• extrude the profile

• shell the top surface of the model

Exercise 10

Mirror a line (spline)

using the model prepared in exercise 9

• draw a line

• toggle the line to construction and fixed

• create a half profile using the spline tool

• mirror the spline about the line

• extrude the profile

• apply a constant radius to the top and bottom faces

  • (if the radius causes problems, redefine the round and use a smaller radius)

• select the component and set the component colour

• rotate the model

Exercise 11

Deform

• create a square and extrude a model similar to that shown

• select the top face

• deform the top face similar to that shown in the mouseover

Exercise 12

Shell a deformed extrusion

using the model created in exercise 11

• rotate the model using the arrow keys

• select the bottom (which is now on top)

• shell the model to a thickness of 3
