Share Description
In this course, you will learn:
- First, see how to create two-dimensional sketches that become the foundation for 3D objects
- Next, look at extruding and revolving 3D features; creating complex objects using the Sweep, Loft, and Surface tools; and modifying parts.
- Find out how to create uniform holes with the Hole Wizard, and explore more advanced modeling techniques using equations, mirroring, and pattern tools. Then review best practices for putting parts together in assemblies
- Finally, get tips for creating detailed drawings, complete with an itemized bill of materials.
