Progress.

Week 3 bottle modelling. 1. Creating loft: couldn't create loft because there is 2 open loop profiles. For whatever reason Solidworks do not let me choose closed loop even if I open up selection manager.    Somehow I was able to select closed loop after trying for N times, and then closing and reopen solidworks.  2. Swept cut The cut out shape is a bit weird.  Adjusted the sketches and the loft shape for 2 hours to get to a shape that I am happy with.  3. Swept cut the bottom The shape of the cut is not what I expected....  I changed the sketch from a trapezium to a curve.  much better. Mirrored everything, adding neck and threads and fillet. 

Week 2: Creating pump bottle spout 1. used the top curve from the first body as reference when creating swept boss, the second body (where the soap goes) became too long So created another sketch on the front plane as reference instead. 2. Couldn't extrude the second cylinder for who knows what reason Did everything (bottom and top cylinder) again and magically worked well. 3. Learned about the "Leaders" under Dimensions property manager (never bothered about anything else other than inserting values to give dimensions) 4. Learned to create threads Couldn't insert threads, googled for solution Went to settings>file location>show location for "thread profiles">select location>okay. And it failed again n again n again. Then I pressed reset. the file locations updated from "Solidworks 2017" to "2018" repeat again, problem solved. 5. Learned to not pressing "merge result...

1: Sketching I started sketching by referring to the drawing but there is some parts on the drawing that I couldn't understand. I looked at the demo video to find those parts and followed those steps. I also learnt to use "Splint" and "point" when sketching (don't think I've used them before this) 2:Resolve Nothing much, just the usual hours and hours of struggling. 3: Circular pattern  I sketched an complete shape, used circular sketch patterns, and extruded the whole thing and then realise it doesn't look like the drawing. (extruded ones looked like square teeth but they should be curved U shape) So I deleted everything and sketched just half of the shape, revolved it and then make circular patterns. I think I done it right this time.
