handle

Hi

 

What commands would i use to construct this handle.The sloping round section i am not sure on which way to construct.

 

How do i attach .ipt files please

 

Cheers

Looks like a fairly simple assembly of parts. A couple of extrudes would get a long ways towards the finish.

 

To attach what you have completed so far drag the red End of Part marker to the top of the browser feature history tree hiding all features.

Save the file.

In Windows Explorer right click on the filename and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

I will get a hold of a handle which should give me a better look at how to construct the model.When sketching would i form the round section first and extrude followed by next forming the handle again with a extrude?

I think the slanted angle of the round section will be the difficult section for me to try and create.Very much a beginner at the moment with Inventor 2010

 

Will try and attach a file soon

 

Cheers

I used a couple of offset lofted profiles to do the main body.

 

 

Extruded an ellipse for the base attempting to match the contours of the lofted section.

 

 

Then lofted the handle using 3 offset rectangular profiles... You can use more if you want a smoother loft.

 

Then you can use Shell to hollow out the solids and add your holes and text.

And with the additional lever added...

Hello Kencaz

 

I`m very impressed by your handle.Would it be possible to have the Inventor file .ipt for your handle you created and i could look at the steps you used

 

Best Regards
