Review a piston blueprint.

00:05

After completing this video, you'll be able to review a blueprint,

00:08

identify areas of a blueprint and identify drawing views

00:14

for this video.

00:14

We want to get started by reviewing our

00:16

precision machine and caliper inch drawing dot PDF.

00:19

Specifically, we want to focus on the last sheet, which is our piston.

00:23

We're going to be modeling the piston and we want to identify dimensions

00:26

on the detail drawing that will help us create this in 3d.

00:30

When we take a look at a detailed drawing,

00:32

it's important that we identify things like the dimensions.

00:35

This will help us control sketches and features that we're creating.

00:39

But also the detailed views.

00:41

For example,

00:42

we can see on this view here that we have an a a line which represents section A a.

00:48

When we look through the middle of this part,

00:50

we can see that we've got a cross section

00:53

here which represents the solid portion of this body.

00:57

Because of this cross section view,

00:59

we know that this is essentially a thin walled part.

01:02

And we're going to be using the detailed

01:04

dimensions for the outside height and the inside height

01:07

as well as the inside diameter and outside diameter,

01:10

those values are going to be critical. And as mentioned previously,

01:15

it is important to note that dimensions may be off on detailed drawings,

01:19

especially when they're done with notes.

01:22

The notes for the champers of 0.1 and 0.2 are likely too

01:26

big based on the scale of the rest of the drawing.

01:29

This is something that we can easily identify once

01:31

we begin sketching and creating this infusion 3 60.

01:34

But to get started,

01:35

we want to make sure that we do identify the detailed drawing dimensions

01:39

that are going to be critical for us to remodel this part.

01:42

And once again, that's the outside diameter,

01:44

the inside diameter, the outside height and the inside height.

01:48

Once you're done reviewing this detailed drawing,

01:50

let's go ahead and move on to the next step.
