Week 8 Fillets/ Chamfers, Loft and shell.

In this week's exercises we were to model more complicated rectilinear solid shapes in Solidworks, using Features such as Fillets, Chamfers, Loft and Shells.

Troubles found with building these solids was that there were many ways you can go about to create them. The issue with this was that you will get a variance in the volume of the finished solid yet still have the same mass. I believe this exercise was to build our awareness of what happens when using different methods to build. This has an effect on overall volume which can be out by a couple of cubic millimeters.

When using Fillets and Chamfers in the build of some of the solids, you had to be aware of what order you put them in. The order of which you put different size fillets in will effect the finished appearance and may not look correct.
