1. Introduction:

In this project we are to learn the entire modeling of Yacht tutorial on solid works and solid works visualize.

The different components of the Yacht we deal with are:

1. Propeller
2. Radar
3. Blueprint Setup
4. Hull
5. Garage Door
6. Front Seat
7. Middle Seat
8. Rear Seat
9. Superstructure
10. Radar Mast

After designing the part components, we have worked upon the assembly and the photo rendering of the Yacht which gives it a complete and realistic view.

2. Design Approach:

Let we start with propeller and end with rendering as shown in below flow chart.

1. Propeller:

device with a central hub and radiating blades placed so that each forms part of a helical (spiral) surface. By its rotation in water or air, a propeller produces thrust owing to aerodynamic or fluid forces acting upon the blades and gives forward motion to a ship or aircraft.

Following are the feature used in this part modelling.
