  • Tutorial's Objectives:
    1. Sketching the base on which the model will be built: (Polygons).
    2. Extruding from this base sketch: (Adding thickness to the model).
    3. Adding predefined features: (Thread: Diameter, Pitch).
    4. Building a referenced plane: (Plane through two edges).
    5. Creating a sketch on the construction plane.
    6. Adding a feature using revolve cutting around an reference axis.
