Building the Bottle Holder

We finally come to the last part of our multichapter build: creating the bottle holder. We will use both reference models from the previous two chapters and create a new model to hold our bottle in place on our bicycle.

In this chapter, we will learn how to bring in both reference models from the previous two chapters and then build a new model from those reference models. This will give us a good idea of how large to make the bottle holder and how it will attach to the bicycle. By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to import a part into your current design, build a new part from an existing design, and add an as-built joint to show simple movement.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

• Designing and drawing out the model
• Creating the bottle holder body
• Creating the grip attachment
