Adding indents and fillets: Motorcycle Gas Tank | Shapr3D Basics

Here we are at the beginning of the third video  and I'd like to describe the rest of this work for   you. I'm going to start by putting an indentation  on the side of the tank here and then we'll angle   the indentation in slightly and start to fillet  the edges to soften it. We're going to do the same   thing up on the top and have a little indentation  on the top. and then we'll put the big fillets on   all the way around, and we'll also put on the  small fillets. Then we'll mirror the tank and   put a gas filler on top, and we'll take a volume  for the entire tank since that will be important.   So let's get started on the indentation on this  side of the tank. I'll start with, of course,   sketching on this side. So let's open a new  sketch on this plane and this sketch will have   just kind of an artistic shape. One thing I need  to know is that sketching from this point of view, I want to be able to see the edges on the other  side of the tank. So what I'm going to do here is   turn on under the views and appearances, I'm going  to turn on the show hidden edges. And this allows   me to see the other side of the tank. And so I can  judge where I need to put this sketch. All right,   so let's put in an arc edge here. and another  arch edge here. and we'll put an arc edge also   right here. And then I'm going to switch using  the L key to align just to draw a straight line   between these two points. I'm not going to use any  dimensions because here it's more of the visual   shape that matters than the actual dimensions. Now I can see that I've messed this up a little   bit 80% of your CAD work usually turns out to be  edits rather than creating things from scratch. So   I'll grab this endpoint and drop it onto the  other endpoint. What I want to do here is to   project this sketch onto the face on the other  side. So I'm actually going to get out of this   sketch to project it and I'll select the sketch  from the items list and swing around. and Shift   select this face. This gives me a few options, and  one of these options is Project. And from here,   we can see the projection of that sketch  onto this face. We can go through and make   some edits if we need to. So I'll go ahead and  do that. Click on the sketch, and I just want   to grab this endpoint and drag this down.
