This section of the book begins with things you need to know in order to make good models—models that react predictably in drawings and that update properly with changes. A robust design intent will make downstream operations easier.
Creating simple parts will help you understand the techniques used in more complex modeling projects. Learning on simple tools and then expanding your skills will help you understand best-practice issues, which will make you a better contributor to a team environment.

By knowing the right information about the part's function before you start modeling or designing, you can create a model...
