DRAWING GUIDE – STOOL

This guide will help you create the following object. Note that you are encouraged to create this object without the guide. Also note that this guide might not be as efficient as possible.

STEP 1
Below is the bottom sketch to figure out the location of the bottom of the feet. Note that you can remove everything except the three small circles. The Circular Pattern tool is very handy here.

STEP 2
After exiting the sketch, hide it. Now create an offset plane (Construct > Offset Plane) that is 100 above the bottom plane (like below).

STEP 3
Create the sketch that represents the top of the legs on the new offset plane.

STEP 4
Exit the sketch. Make both sketches visible. They should look like the image below. Or, if you have already removed the excess, see the next step.

STEP 5
All we need are the three circles at the top and at the bottom. So we have to go erase from the sketches.

STEP 6
Use LOFT three times.

STEP 7
Using the offset plane again (make it visible), create a new sketch. Inside, make a circle that has a diameter of 130. Extrude that sketch to a thickness of 30. Add a fillet of 5.
