"Step 2" should be "Revolved Boss/Base" not Revolved Cut. Correct me if Im wrong but revolved cut was greyed out, which Im pretty sure it wouldnt work anyways..
There is a missing step between step 14 and step 15. The fillet on the side rectangular surface. What is the radius for the fillet? I used 7mm and it looks similar to that is shown here.
I'm very very new with SW. I learn new commands all the time. Some commands You can only dream in ACAD2008. I'm this far I just hope I don't get stuck to something (fingers crossing). GOOD.
So far this tutorial had missing steps not many, but it is still amazing with what you can do with this software
The fillet radius at the bottom (or top) that is missing should be 10mm so it lines up with the extruded bits.
