1. PROPELLER
2. RADAR
3. FRONT SEAT
4. REAR SEAT
5. MIDDLE SEAT
6. HULL
7. SUPER STRUCTURE
8. RADAR MAST
9. GARAGE DOOR

PROPELLER

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is drawn according to the dimensions.
• The circular solidmodel is produced using Revolve feature.
• The fan structure is made using loft feature.
• Fillets are applied.
• Circular pattern is used for the rest of the fan wings.

RADAR

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• The solid body is made using extrude.
• Necessary fillets are used.
• The nut is made using the Sketch Driven Pattern.

FRONT SEAT

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• Also projected curves are used.
• The surface model is made using Swept Surface,Ruled Surface,Extend surface.
• The surfaces are knitted together using knit surface and also to convert the surface model into a solid model.
• The model is mirrored using Mirror feature .
• Fillets are added.
• The pattern feature is also used.

REAR SEAT

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• Also projected curves are used.
• The surface model is made using Loft Surface,Ruled Surface,Extend surface.
• The surfaces are knitted together using knit surface and also to convert the surface model into a solid model.
• The solid model of the seat is sketched and made to solid body using extrude.
• The model is the mirrored along the midplane using Mirror feature.
• Cut extrude feature is used to remove the unwanted bodies.
• Fillets are added.
• Colour is changed using appearences.

MIDDLE SEAT

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• The sketch is made to a 3D solid body using the extrude feature.
• Required fillets and chamfers are added to the body.

HULL

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• Also projected curves are used.
• The surface model is made using Swept Surface,Loft Surface,Ruled Surface,Extend surface.
• The surfaces are knitted together using knit surface and also to convert the surface model into a solid model.
• The rest of the part is sketched and made to solid body using extrude.
• The model is the mirrored along the midplane using Mirror feature.
• Cut extrude feature is used to remove the unwanted bodies.
• The Shell feature is used to make the solid body hollow.
• Split feature is used to seperate certain part of the body.
• Fillets are added.

SUPER STRUCTURE

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• Also projected curves are used.
• The surface model is made using Swept Surface,Loft Surface,Ruled Surface,Extend surface.
• The surfaces are knitted together using knit surface and also to convert the surface model into a solid model.
• The rest of the part is sketched and made to solid body using extrude.
• The model is the mirrored along the midplane using Mirror feature.
• Cut extrude feature is used to remove the unwanted bodies.
• The Shell feature is used to make the solid body hollow.
• Split feature is used to seperate certain part of the body.
• Fillets are added.
• Unwanted parts of the surface body is removed using Trim tool and delete surface.

RADAR MAST

PROCEDURE:

• The 2d sketch is made using sketch feature.
• The solid 3d model is made using Extrude,Revolve and Sweep feature.
• Unwanted parts are removed using Cut Extrude feature.
• Fillets are added.
• The colour is changed using appearence feature.

GARAGE DOOR

PROCEDURE:

• The unwanted portion of the body is removed usinf extrude cut.
• The Shell feature is used to remove a little portion.
• The Text is added to the body.
• The colour is changed using the appearence feature.

ASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE:

• The above made parts are first added to the assembly section and are fitted together using the Mate feature.
• Thus the yatch is made.
