Shape and add detailed features

00:00

Welcome to part two of the tank video. In this part, we'll continue shaping the tank and add some detail features. Follow along. Okay, now I'm going to add another, another cutout here. Add a sketch, again, on this face, and this will be an arc.

goes in this direction.

And again the cutout. Need to box this in.

and add a line as a center line.

Again, we're going to make this into construction and also add a dimension. Call it eight, revolve the cut.

01:00

Do the Boolean.

01:08

And let's turn off some sketches so we can get a better sense of where we are here.

01:17

Okay, the only thing that's left to do is to trim this end. So let's do this quickly. Again, we go through the procedure of sketch, face.

sketch in the arc.

block in faces for the solid.

and create a center line for the cut. These center lines by the way don't need to be straight. You can make a revolve using an angled center line. That will of course give you a different shape. It may be what you're looking for, may not be. Hit V for revolve, click, shift click, click. Again, we don't need 360 degrees, we just need that much.

Done. Subtract. We want to subtract from this body. We want to subtract that body. Done. Turn off sketch 6. And now we have half of a gas tank, almost. We have a couple of things we need to add to this. But you can start to see that it's beginning to look like half a gas tank. Thanks for watching.
