Container

Description

In this exercise you will designing a container in 3D.

Steps

CP.1.1. Design and construct a 3D object that meets the following limitations and conditions:  

1. The container must be no larger than 3" x 3" x 3".

2. The container must be able to hold something liquid or solid. Consumable (food or drink) contents are not recommended.

3. All components must be solids. No surfaces.

4. If there are multiple components to your container, they must be joined together using the Union tool/command.

5. The object must be orientated with its bottom sitting on the 0 plane of the Z-axis. When you go to top view, you should be looking at the container from the top.

CP.2.2. Open a new file, save it and name it with your name followed by container_1.

CP.2.3. Discuss with the instructor the methods of 3D modeling that you plan to use to model the container. There are many ways in which to model, but some may be more appropriate or useful than others.

CP.2.4. Model the container. As you model, it is recommended that you save copies with different names. After you have completed a few steps, save the file. Then save as the next version, for example [Your name]_container_2. 

The reason for this is that some steps are difficult to undo when you are working in 3D. You may want to go back a few steps and begin from that point. It is also recommended that you generate layers to isolate construction lines and lines of the actual container. 

You can also complete a few operations and make a copy of the object off to the side as shown below.

Regardless, save frequently.
