Lofted Boss/Base

24
Lofted Boss/Base

25
Sketch and Reference Geometry
• Select the top face and sketch an ellipse
• Create Reference Plane 1 at 70 mm above the top face
• Create Reference Plane 2 at 140 mm above the top face

26
Sketch on Reference Geometry
• Sketch on reference plane 1 • Sketch on reference plane 2

27
Lofted Boss/Base
• Select sketches in order starting from the bottom face
– The order of selected sketches is important
– The selected point within each sketch is important (select one endpoint)
– Thin Feature, Mid-Plane, 2 mm

28
Lofted Boss/Base
• Guide curves
– Drawing cross sections across multiple layers is time consuming
– Therefore, use guide curves to create the desired shape with fewer cross sections
– Select the front face to use guide curves
– Select free curves to draw a curved sketch

29
Lofted Boss/Base
• Lofted Boss/Base
– Select the sketches drawn on the bottom in order, just like before
– Select guide curves

• Select each sketch you drew

• Thin Feature, Mid-Plane, 2 mm

30
Lofted Boss/Base
• Block bottom face
– Make sketch along bottom face and extrude inside 2mm

• Color the object (optional)

31
Homework #6
• Create a flower + flowerpot
• Freely set size and shape (does not have to match the example; must use Sweep / Shell / Loft)
• Change color and perform rendering
• Submit part file and rendered image file

Use Sweep tool

(stem)

Use Shell tool

(flowerpot)
Use the Loft tool
(flowerpot)

32

• 파트파일과 렌더링 이미지 PLMS에 제출

– 제출기한: 다음 주 중간고사 전까지
– 연장제출기한: 2주 후 실습 시간 전까지
– 연장기간 제출시 50%감점 (미제출시 0점이므로 기간내 제출 필수)

• 파일 제목 양식
– 과제번호_학번_이름_파일종류
• Ex) HW6_2025xxxx_이름_Part
• Ex) HW6_2025xxxx_이름_Render

• 과제 채점 기준
– 만점: 10점
– 사용하지 않거나 부적절하게 사용된 tool (Sweep / Shell / Loft): 1 점씩 감점

33
Homework #3
• Freely design and render the shape of a flower and flowerpot
• Submit part file and rendered image to PLMS
– Submission deadline: Before next week's midterm
– Extended deadline: Before the lab session two weeks later
– 50% deduction for late submission (0 points if not submitted, so submission within the deadline is required)

• File naming format
