PREDATOR YATCH

OBJECTIVE :

the objectoive of the modelling of predator yatch is to apply the various types of features and skills learned from the past lessons . to build a perfect predator yatch using all forms of features.

INTRODUCTION

1. this report consists of the detailed design methodology of the perdator yatch
2. the types of features, tools , used are explained
3. a design tool as solidworks had performed good in this design it is easy to understand and use

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

blueprint setup

1. open the solidworks software form the taskbar or start menu .
2. open a new part file
3. then select insert>sketchpicture
4. select the yatch blueprint side plane in the midplane and close the sketch.
5. next open the right plane and insert the back side bluepritn of the yatch and close the sketch
6. next open the top plane and insertthe bottom side of the yatch blueprint and close the sketch
7. next use the reference geometry and insert a new plane first reference as back right plane and enter the offset distance as 0 and click ok , and open the plane 1 sketch and insert the front side of the yatch blueprint and close the sketch
8. next do the same for the top plane and insert the top view of the yatch blueprint and close the sketch.
9. now save the file as predator yatch blueprint

HULL
