Platinum
These models are at a standard for National 5 CAD tasks. You will complete some of them through the National Graphics course but there is nothing to stop you doing them before then... Try them in Inventor or Onshape.
Some of the models are single parts and some of them are assemblies.
There are 2 categories, try to complete at least 3 from each.
Make sure you read the hints in the top right corner to see what type of modelling techniques might be needed to complete them.
The drawings themselves are from DesignClass.co.uk which has some great resources for National and Higher graphics.

Revolved Parts
The simple parts all have an element that has been revolved, You will need to think about the axis that you need to create the revolve around.

Although these parts are made from a revolved element, some of them also require radial arrays. If you are not sure then make sure you look at the help videos (for Inventor or Onshape) so you understand how to add these elements.

Platinum Academy Exit Task
Now that you have completed a range of models you need to demonstrate your drawing skills. You need to layout a drawing for the Mitre square and the Candle Jar. Full details of the views you need to create are included in the template files below.
You can use the drawings above as a guide to show you how yours should look,m you should also use your graphics knowledge to ensure you are following the correct standard.
Make sure you also watch the relevant video guide to keep you on the right track.
Onshape
Click the link below to open the Onshape template. You will need to create a copy so you can edit it and add your views.
Watch the guide video if you need a remider of how to open and layout the views in Onshape and add dimensions to your views.
Inventor
You should download, save and open the Inventor template file below. When you open it in Inventor you will be able to add your views.
