Open a sketch on the top plane and draw the sketch shown above. Assuming you’re already familiar with 2D sketching, we won’t go into the details here. However, you can review the details in the video.
Then, using the Boss-Extrude command from the Features menu, we give the sections shown above a thickness of 6 mm.
After the previous solidify step, the 2D sketch will disappear. You can find the sketch again in the feature tree. Then we give the sections shown in the image a thickness of 12 mm.
Again using the same command, we give the section in the image a height of 30 mm. Our solid model is now complete.
