Tutorial: Adding features to a part

This tutorial uses three distinct activities, with three different models, to demonstrate how to add features using existing sketches, faces, or bodies using commands on the Create panel. The final activity assigns the materials for the models, and checks the mass of each model to ensure that it meets expectations.

In this tutorial, you

• Create a loft feature on a gas pedal, then add a web feature, and a rib to provide additional support.
