Tutorial series: Solid modeling basics
What you'll learn
Get a walkthrough of creating iterations and working between direct and parametric modeling to edit elements of your copy directly as well as copy feature details from the original model’s design history to add to your iteration.

So what if we want to create multiple versions of our design? So now we currently are working on one, but with the history-based parametric modeling, we can also expand our versions and compare them. So let's see what we can do. So I think I'll make a copy or a version here after this fillet five. So what I'll just do is deselect everything and then go to the transform tools and move my body and make sure to hit copy.

in order to create a copy of that. And let's also remember this dimension here, 200 millimeter to the side. So everything up to this point here in our history will be moved and copied over to our next version. So after that, we have our fillet and maybe this is something that I want to change or let's make use of our direct modeling tools and just zoom in here and change some of these elements.

So now I have created a second version of my design. And when I'm finished, I can also go down to the last element of our history and copy the lid over to our second version as well.
