Rendering the American Chopper

Template:

To set up an appropriate dimension scale to design parts.

Sketch: To create 2D sketch with required dimensions of parts.

Create fully defined parts: To create a 3D model or part with appropriate dimensions.

Appearance: After creating parts apply suitable appearance to the model.

Part assembly: Assemble all the individual parts into fully defined chopper.

Correcting flaws: After assembling the parts, check for any flaws like parts overlapping. If any flaws were identify them and correct it.

Camera: Add lights, camera view to the assembled chopper.

Final render: To highlight the design of chopper and the scenes and environments are set to the design for final render.

NOTE:-

I am not able to rendering in solidworks visualisation because it not opend but i am trying alot and asking to you also sir but it could not rebdring.

and my software having some issues i don't know why is showing like this and if i am doing 5 to 10 min it will crashed entaire design will be collapsed that images, how can i get those errors as shown in bellow..

I AM TRYING TILL NOW BUT IT CRASHED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND I DONT HAVE TIME TO DO TAHTS WHY I'M SUBMITTING THIS

KINDLLY ACCEPT MT APOLOGIE AND REQUESTING YOU TO PLEAE CONSIDER THESE THINGS IN MARKS DONT REDUCE MY MARKS

THANKING YOU
