Thanks again for this. After exercise 1 & 2, i was able to do this one by my self. And afterwards i watch your video and still see some major improvements i could do.
Hey Mate i have a question. Would be great to get an answer to this. @min 1:55 you finished your sketch on the bottom surface. Than you extruded it, selecting the new profile you made. But when i try to extrude it, i cant select the profile you did. Is this because of any settings in inventor? It only show the circle because its the only profile which is "closed". Do i need to constrain the lines to the 60mm circle? I manually need to close the tangential lines so i can extrude this profile.
Hi @Kaleb, yes you are absolutely correct here, well spotted! The rib design in this case is not exactly to spec (though depending on limits it may fall within tolerance of the part). I did it this way for the purposes of a 'not so complex' tutorial. A way to accurately implement this rib feature is to create a plane that is tangential to the cylindrical surface and to extrude 'to surface', followed by Extrude cut the excess rib material. This would give a clean joining line to the arced edge of the cylinder. I may follow up on this in a future tutorial but I rarely come across rib features forming from arced edged.
Excellent Explanation
nice work bro

Thanks Selim, glad to see you are finding these helpful :)

Why doesn't my model reorient when I finish the sketch and use the extrude command.
Isn't the rib geometry off a tad in reality due to the constrained dimensions, being shifted into the part by half a mm?

@@AutodeskInventorTutorials Would this affect the part by itself? If i do this either way or this way does this affect anything while producing?
