Tutorial 1
In this tutorial, you will open the sketch drawn in Tutorial 3 of Chapter 4. You will then
convert that sketch into an extruded model by extruding it in two directions, as shown in
Figure 45. The parameters for extruding the sketch are given next.
(Expected time: 30 min)
Direction 1 Direction 2
Depth = 10 mm Depth = 15 mm
Draft angle = 35 degrees Draft angle = 0 degree

3. Invoke the Extruded Boss/Base tool and convert the sketch into a model, refer to
Figures 47 and 48.
4. Rotate the view by using the Rotate View tool to view the model from all directions,
refer to Figure 49.

5. Invoke the Orientation dialog box and then modify the standard view, refer to Figure 50.
Tutorial 2
In this tutorial, you will create the model shown in Figure 51. Its dimensions are
shown in Figure 52. The extrusion depth of the model is 20 mm. After creating the
model, add a color of your choice to it and apply a decal as well.
(Expected time: 45 min)

2. Create the outer loop and then create the sketch of three inner cavities. Finally, draw
six circles inside the outer loop for the holes, refer to Figures 53 through 57.

3. Invoke the Extruded Boss/Base tool and extrude the sketch through a distance of
20 mm.
4. Now add a color of your choice to the model created and apply decal, refer to
Figure 58.

Tutorial 3
In this tutorial, you will open the sketch drawn in Exercise 3 of Chapter 4. You will then
create a thin feature by revolving the sketch through an angle of 270-degree, as
shown in Figure 59. You will offset the sketch outward while creating the thin feature.
After creating the model, you will turn on the option to display shadows and also apply
the Copper material to the model. Additionally, you will determine the mass properties.
(Expected time: 30 min)

3. Invoke the Revolved Boss/Base tool and revolve the sketch through an angle of
270-degree, refer to Figures 61 and 62.
4. Change the current view to the isometric view and then display the model in shadow,
refer to Figure 63.

5. Assign copper material to the model, refer to Figure 64, and then check the mass
properties.
Exercise 1
Create the model shown in Figure 65. The sketch of the model is shown in Figure 66.
Create the sketch and dimension it using the fully define sketch option. The extrusion
depth of the model is 15 mm. After creating the model, rotate the view.

Exercise 2
Create the model shown in Figure 67. The sketch of the model is shown in Figure 68.
Create the sketch and dimension it using the fully define sketch option. The extrusion
depth of the model is 25 mm. Modify the standard view such that the current front view
of the model is displayed when you invoke the top view. (Expected time: 30 min)
Exercise 3
Create the model shown in Figure 69. The sketch of the model is shown in Figure 70.
Create the sketch and dimension it using the fully define sketch option. The Direction 1
angle of the model is 270 degrees. (Expected time: 30 min)
