Summary

In this project chapter, you worked to 3D-model an RC helicopter toy model. To achieve that, you had to interpret engineering drawings, 3D-model different parts, and then join them together in an assembly. The skills you used to construct this project include many advanced features often used by professional users; those include working with multibody parts, building configurations, using design tables, advanced mates, and assembly features. In the process, you have also constructed a project that can be included in your personal portfolio to highlight your 3D-modeling skills.

Congratulations on making it to the end of this book! This book was meant as a journey to build you a strong foundation in using SOLIDWORKS for 3D modeling. This foundation is the beginning of a new journey, whether you use the tools we explored in your next project or continue learning in more specialized areas such as surfacing, molding, weldments, drawings, sheet metals, or simulation. 3D modeling...
