Introduction to SolidWorks
In our introduction to SolidWorks, we create a "pressure plate" made of a base and circular structures built upon it. We add fillets to smoothly connect it as well.

Introduction to SolidWorks
In our introduction to SolidWorks, the product grade could be your design as long as it included:
A Bass, Boss, Cut Features, fillets, circular pattern, drawing, and dimensions.

Objectives include:
I have no clue who Diana Wyman is but the drawing of my product grade is here:
It shows the Model, the top of the model, the side of the model, and a closer version of the side of the model. While it may look messy, each measurement is calculated good.

Building the Fillet Features Sample Part
In this lesson, you learn how to build the sample part used in the Fillet Features tutorial. You can capture the symmetry of a knob in the design intent of the part. You build one half of the sample part in this lesson, then in the Fillet Features lesson, you mirror the model to create the other half. Any changes you make to the original half are reflected in the other half.
The steps include:
Using relations in sketches
Adding draft angles to extruded features
Fillet 1
Fillet 2
Fillet 3
Fillet 4
In this lesson we followed the same steps of the Process and used different elements to create our own objects to fillet together and merge.
-We used relations by mirroring
-We added draft angles to smooth our the fillets
Using a rectangle base, I mirrored the midpoint to create a reflection, then added a cut to make it look like a toaster.
