8 Mar, 2012 12:55 PM

Here is the tutorial on first part box of the model. We will go step by step from modeling to motion.

Step 1:

Front plane >> Sketch.
Step 2:

Draw a center point rectangle at origin of 300mmx200mm.
Step 3:

Extrude it by 60mm.
Step 4:

Click Shell tool under features tab.
Step 5:

Remove the front face and offset distance be 5mm.
Step 6:

Inner face >> Sketch.
Step 7:

Draw a rectangle for cutway of the box.
Step 8:

Extrude cut it throught the body in front direction.
Step 9:

Now we have to create some features through which the balls have to pass Inner face >> Sketch.
Step 10:

Draw a line.
Step 11:

Exit the sketch. Now the front face of the wall >> Sketch.
Step 12:

Draw another line. Exit the sketch.
Step 13:

Under surfaces tab select lofted surface.
Step 14:

Select both sketches.
Step 15:

Thicken the surface with direction downwards so that it can merge with box.
Step 16:

Inner face >> Sketch.
Step 17:

Draw a spline.
Step 18:

Extrude surface it up to the wall surface.
Step 19:

Thicken it again so that it can merge with the box.
Step 20:

Inner face of the box >> Sketch. Now draw a box like this.
Step 21:

Extrude it up to the vertex and select the edge of the wall.
Step 22:

Inner face >> Sketch.
Step 23:

Draw a line.
Step 24:

Extrude it with thin feature of 5mm upto the vertex and select the edge of the wall.
Step 25:

The model is prepared. Now we have to apply the material.
Step 26:

Right click the material and select cast alloy steel and our box is prepared.
Step 27:
