<\/a>This exploded view actually didn’t turn out that badly.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t remember if the client actually needed an exploded view of their design, or if I was just having fun.\u00a0In any case,\u00a0I had not used\u00a0exploded view before, so I was happy how it turned out. of one of the segments turned . Well, I didn’t like how the photo-realistic render turned out, so I combined it with a regular render and touched it up.\u00a0Then I was happy with how it turned out.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The dimensions are not in inches, as this sheet claims. I really should do a better job labeling sheets.<\/p><\/div>\n
I’d also never done a bill of materials before. A few parts aren’t fully filled in but\u00a0it was fun.\u00a0Well, at least when I could find the\u00a0model numbers. Although I may have switched a screw or something, It was basically just modeling their existing prototype and\u00a0it can be a lot harder than I expected to hunt down where stuff came from. I suppose that it wasn’t really important, but it makes me sad when the table isn’t filled in all the way. I was about surprised by how long it took to do the BOM.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Display states are cool.<\/p><\/div>\n
Another new thing I used was the Display States feature. From a practical standpoint, the T-nuts aren’t shown so it doesn’t really matter much, but I wasn’t being paid by the hour, and it makes it easier to check for and see if anything is going to hit, and, as nothing was hitting, it would mean I did not model it correctly.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I did try to find a good angle to render this. There really isn’t one.<\/p><\/div>\n
