MECHANICAL PART
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Working by layers
Defining the layers
Creating two new layers
Creating a profile
Creating a size-55 auxiliary line
Dividing the auxiliary line near the "point" (coordinates) (40, 0)
Creating a 3.8-radius circle around point (40, 0)
Rotating the circle -3 degrees around a point
Rotating the circle 36 degrees around a point and copying it
Rotating and copying the auxiliary lines
Intersecting lines
Creating an arc tengential to two lines
Traslating the definitive lines to the "profile" layer
Deleting the "aux" layer
Rotating and obtaining the final profile
Creating a surface
Creating a hole in the part
Creating two sides of the octagon
Creating the rest of the octagon by mirror effect
Creating a hole in the surface of the mechanical part
Creating volumes from surfaces
Creating the "prism" layer and translating the octagon to this layer
Creating the volume of the prism
Creating the volume of the wheel
