This practice model was created in SolidWorks with the tools line, centerline, smart dimension, corner rectangle, circle, boss extrude, and cut extrude. I changed the material to 1060 alloy to fully match the required mass. After the first look of its blueprint, I knew I had to create the first sketch as one of the side faces. After extruding it, I then sketched on the faces of the model. It is important to note that when sketching on a 3D model but not on one of its faces, make sure the sketch is on the right plane. Mass = 7656.47 gramsVolume = 2835727.99 cubic millimetersSurface area = 177000.17 square millimeters
