Part II: Building Intelligence into Your Parts
Summary
SolidWorks has a wide range of feature types to choose from, spanning from simple extrudes and
revolves to more complex lofts and sweeps. It also offers a selection of specialty features that may
not be useful on a day-to-day basis, but that have their place in the modeling techniques that you
need to know to get the job done.Some features, such as extrude, fillet, and flex, have so many options that it may be difficult to take
them all in at once. You should browse through the models on the CD-ROM for this chapter and
use the Rollback bar (described in detail in Chapter 11) to examine how the parts were built. You
can then try to create a few on your own.
