Set the current view as Home View using View Cube.Save the file with the name Hammer Head.

Make some changes in the lighting settings to see the model clearly.Change the colour of the model as per your wish.Select the sketches, step by step as displayed here.Turn off the visibility of work plane3.Next select work plane3 paste the copied sketch using right-click context menu.Select the Sketch 3 from the browser bar and copy it using right click context menu.Again, turn off the visibility of previous work plane.Next, create another work plane at an offset distance of 40 mm from the work plane2.Draw a circle coincident with these two points and exit from the sketching mode.Activate ‘Project Geometry’ tool and take the project of following point present in the previous sketch.Next, create a sketch, on the work plane2.Turn off the visibility of the work plane1.Again create another work plane at an offset distance of 25 mm from the work plane1.Draw a circle of 50 mm coincident with the centre point and finish the sketch.

Now create a new sketch on this new work plane1.

Turn off the visibility of the XY plane.

Create a new work plane by activating the ‘Offset from Plane’ command.

Turn on the visibility of XY plane from the browser bar.

The sketch is complete so exit from the sketching mode.

Draw a rectangle of 60 x 60 mm coincident with the centre point, using Two point centre rectangle tool.

Start a new part file using the metric template.

In addition to this creation process of new Work Planes, Copy/ Paste function of sketches and many more things are also covered in this tutorial. Sometimes optional rails and points are used that help in controlling the final outcome. This feature is used, when we want to create a solid by joining more than one closed profile. Hello viewers, in this tutorial we would learn about the Loft feature of Autodesk Inventor by developing a solid named Hammer Head.
