Week4 - EXP2: Tutorials

Lesson 1 - Parts: The first time that I opened SolidWorks it really did scare me a little, the fact that most of the tool bars are missing, even after completing the first tutorial the interface is not as intuitive as other programs like Sketchup (even 3DsMax is simple compared to SolidWorks).

Loft: During this tutorial, the parametres of the Loft tool was incredibly difficult to understand, the step by step tutorial did not help much.

Revolve: This one was comparatively easier to complete than the first two. The main reason I think is Sketchup has something similar to this tool, but again it takes far too long from actually drawing the outline to the final model.
