ASSEMBLY OF AMERICAN CHOPPER
An assembly opens with the Insert Component Property Manager active. Click in the graphics area to add the part to the assembly. First, mainly insert all parts by using inset components feature.
make sure every part has as per axis, with using mate part will be fixed
Mate: Mates are constraints that hold components together in SOLIDWORKS assemblies.
Decals: Decals are used to do the artwork. on parts and assemblies.

RENDERING OF AMERICAN CHOPPER
Rendering is the process to make a real-time image.
Rendering considers the following features
- environment setup
- light settings
- camera setting
- colours and material settings
- scene composition
setup is done by using solidworks photoview 360 with the above features
solid works visualize used to get a real-time image
