Overview of caddy parts and project approach

- Now that you've set up the project file and…you're ready to begin modeling parts,…let's take a moment to look at the individual parts…that make up the caddy design.…I begin the design process by sketching each part.…So I had a general idea of the shape, form, and dimensions.…You should have these sketches that I generated…in a folder called Exercise Files under Chapter Two,…Design Sketches.…If you open each of those sketches,…you'll see just a general thumbnail,…quick drawing of each part so that you could explore…the shape, the size, the form of each of the parts.…

You don't have to be a professional illustrator…necessarily to do this type of small thumbnail sketching.…All you need to do is draw the part…to the best of your ability and add notes…and necessary annotations.…Sketching is really a useful way and quick way…to record your ideas of the moment…and to brainstorm various renditions of your design.…I'll close these sketches and then I'll go to a document…inside the design sketches called CAD design specs…
