- [Narrator] This will be lesson two of three for Advanced Modeling Certification Objectives. For this lesson, I'll focus on creating a multibody part, as well as using surfaces to develop a part. I'll begin by completing the design of my upper housing. Part of my housing is presently a T spine body represented as a surface. I can modify the form of this by making an edit and using the edit form tool. I'll grab two top edges, and make a simple modification to the shape, and then return back to my solid modeling environment. The hybrid modeling environment inside of Inventor allows you to be very creative by mixing a combination of T spine bodies, traditional surfaces, and solid models to define your geometry. This makes it very easy to develop essentially any shape that you can imagine. One of the things I'd like to do is use this contour as the definition of the path that will draw oil up out of the pump, or release oil out of the pump. So I need to add a thickness to this or second…
