Question

As stated in the problem, the shape and size of the cross sections may be changed but a minimum of 5 planes should be used (:

(s) (10 points) Using SolidWorks (or other solid modeler of your choice), reproduce a vase similar to the one shown below. You are encouraged to create your own design by changing the shape and size of the cross sections on each plane; a minimum of 5 planes should be used. Figures 1 and 2 show a side view and isometric view of a vase with 0.01 in-thick walls. Hollow your vase using the Shell command. Print out a 2D view like figure 1 to show the 5 reference planes (4 points) and a 3D view of the vase as shown in Figures 2 and 3 (6 points). Figure 4 (rendered model) is not required. 1.0 in. 6.0 in. 30 in 2.0 in. 2.0 in. 5 in 5 in Top Plane Base Diameter 7 Figure 1: Side View Figure 2: Planes for Construction Figure 3: Finished Vase Figure 4: Rendered and shaded view

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw reference planes parallel to the TOP plane at distances shown below:

Step 2: From the top , draw a square cross section on planes 1, 4 and 5. And draw circular c/s on plane 2 and 3.

Step 3: Use the Loft command and select the 5 profiles.

Step 4 : can use the Round tool to radius out the sharp edges
