Big Rim

With SolidWorks, I created this model with the tools line, smart dimension, centerline, mirror, and revolved boss. This model had a simple sketch to create and an easy way to extrude it. In the beginning, I was puzzled on how to start this model's sketch, then with a different perspective I realized I can use the circular aspect of the model to my advantage. With the model being circular, I was able to create only a small aspect of the sketch which I then mirrored and extruded. Learning about the revolved boss tool is important and can help you with time. Lastly, always apply the material of the model, in this case 1060 alloy, which I forgot to do at first.Mass = 112862.37 gramsVolume = 41800876.90 cubic millimetersSurface area = 1789353.33 square millimeters
