V-Block SolidWorks 3D Model Exercise 9

Follow the dimensions given the below isometric view of v block part.

SolidWorks Sketch Tools Used :-

Line Sketch Tool

Mirror Feature Tool

This is V-block model is very much symmetrical to its axis. So, you can apply Solidworks Mirror feature to make its other half. 2D sketch drawing is made as per the symmetry. Then extruded the half part of the model. Then apply the Mirror feature for the extrude boss part to make the other side of the model. Thereby completed the V-block 3D model.

All the features and sketch tools applications are explained in below video.
