Most of the objects we want to draw are not, unfortunately, simple rectangles or circles. This sheet will show you how to make more complex shapes using the Delete Line Segment tool (otherwise known as the scissors). We will use this tool to help draw the heart pendant below:
Open a new Design.
Save your design as Pendant.
Hold down Shift and press W to go onto the workplane.
Draw a square 50 x 50mm.
Draw a circle of 50mm diameter centred on the mid-point of one of the sides of the square. (Mid-points light up when you hover over them.)
Repeat 2 for another adjacent side of the square. Your drawing should end up something like:
Select the scissors tool and snip away the lines inside the heart shape. You will know when you have finished as the heart will shade in.
In the middle of the heart shape draw another one – this time the square should be 25mm and each circle should have a diameter of 25mm:
Select the scissors tool and snip away the lines inside the smaller heart shape. You will know when you have finished as the heart will shade in around the heart-shaped hole you have created.
Extrude the shape to 6mm.
Click on Select then Edge. Select all the edges – both top and bottom – and round them to 2mm.
Click on Select then Face. Highlight top face. Click on Workplane then New sketch then OK.
Draw a circle of 4mm diameter somewhere near one of the rounded areas of the heart.
Extrude this circle below the workplane to form a hole through the pendant.
Round the edges of the hole, top and bottom, to 1mm.
Save your work.
Put your work into Photo Album and render it.
