Drinking Beaker
 Revolve
Boss Base
• You must have a line that you want
to revolve and an axis you wish to
revolve the line around in order to
make a Revolve Boss Base
Shell Feature
• You must have a Solid Body to Apply a
shell feature. You must select the face in
which you wish to apply the shell and then
input a suitable size you wish to leave as
the wall of the beaker. In this case we are
leaving a 4mm size wall.
Adding a Constant Fillet
When adding a constant fillet you must select the fillet feature. Next you must
select the constant fillet feature under the fillet heading. Next you must select
the starting wall for the fillet, then the wall you want to add the fillet on and
then finally you must select where you want the fillet to end. After this select
the green tick and then it will add your constant fillet which can be seen in the
image below.
Now its your turn to make your beaker. Chose the feature you want to use to
complete the main body of the drinking beaker. Apply your own dimensions
