Projecting geometry

“

- [Voiceover] We're now ready to look at how we can project edges. And project edges is one of those features that kind of falls in between sketching and part modeling. You're really going to be projecting sketch geometry, but most often, you'll be projecting that geometry from part edges. So on the screen you have a part very similar to what we use when creating work planes, work axis, and work points. The difference is, we previously had a slice that ran across the front of this face, and that's what we're going to create here, so that we can look at projecting. I'm going to start by creating a sketch. I'm going to right click select New Sketch, and I'll select this top face. By doing that, a new sketch is created, however we haven't projected any of these edges that sit on that sketch plane. You can see here, if we rotate on an angle, these edges all sit flush on this work plane or this sketch. There is an option in Inventor, which I've mentioned previously in the course and I want…
