The Train
Train
In this project we worked in teams of three to create train pieces and assemble them on inventor. I worked with Kateri and Lindsey We were given diagrams that showed the train pieces and the dimensions we had to decide who would make what depending on their abilities with inventor. In this project i made the axle peg, hitch peg ,smoke stack, train body ,and the wheel.
In this project, I learned how to use the revolve and loft. During this project their were complications with finding the parts to put together

Different Views
Smoke Stack Section View
A section view provides a view of an object as if it was cut, its location is indicated by a cutting line plane. A section view should be used to see the inside of an object.
Cow Catcher Auxiliary View
An auxiliary view provides features that are located on an inclined surface in true size and shape. Auxiliary views show an orthographic projection of an angled surface which appears foreshortened in a principle orthographic view. Foreshortened surfaces do not give an accurate representation of the size or shape and should not have dimensions.
