🚀 SOLIDWORKS Practice Problem: Advanced Plane Control

Tackled an asymmetric modeling challenge using strategic reference geometry:

Sketch Tools Used:
✔ Lines & Centerlines (for precise layout)
✔ Circles (for critical features)
✔ Trim (for clean sketch boundaries)

Feature Tools Applied:
✔ Extrude Boss (core shape development)
✔ Extrude Cut (complex void creation)

Reference Geometry Technique:
✔ Custom Planes (defined by sketches for exact positioning)

Key Results:

Fully-defined asymmetric part (132,174 mm³)

Origin-aligned geometry per design intent

Sketch-driven plane placement

Pro Tip: Using sketches to define planes enables precise control over asymmetric features!
