SOLIDWORKS is used by millions of designers and engineers at hundreds of thousands of companies. It’s one of the most popular design and engineering software on the market. Known for its range of features and high functionality, SOLIDWORKS is used across multiple professions and industries around the world. SOLIDWORKS uses parametric design, which is why it’s such an effective tool for designers and engineers. This means that the designer can see how changes will affect its neighboring components, or even the overall solution. For example, if the size of a single component is increased, this would affect the joint or hole it’s attached to. This allows designers to spot and correct issues quickly and easily

Both R and P initials
In the Solidworks sweep tutorial we were taught how to create 3D swept sketches, here I used the X Y and Z axis', fillet tool and 3D sketch tool to create my initial.
Instead of creating a circular profile, I instead used the feature to make things easier.
Here I used a center rectangle to create the profile that would set the guide for the rest of the sweep's dimensions instead of a circular one like the R.
The basic sweep preview. (Sweep rectangle is located at the bottom left corner where the P starts)
