Toy Car
Description
This project has tasked us to design a toy car that fits the dimension of 4"x 3"x 2" and it must have multiple components that fit together. The goal of the project is to familiarize ourselves with the Inventor program again so that we could use it during our Capstone project. Other requirements for the project include creating sketches of the car, multi-views, presenting the design and appropriately marketing the product.

Conclusion
When we went back to the inventor program we could remember the basics on how to create 2D sketches and extrude them; however, some of the issues we faced related to the controls in the program or doing steps out of order. Other tools that we remembered how to use were dimensioning shapes, using the mirror tool to reflect features, and revolving to round out a piece. As we kept working on the design some of the other tools slowly came back to us like containing and flushing the parts in an assembly, or we could not remember how to use tools like detailed view in the IDW mode. We did learn some skills along the way to make the process easier like how to create planes on the parts and how to use the direct edit tool.
