This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

for this practice exercise.

00:07

We'll begin with the supply data set, valve seat assembly dot I am.

00:11

This can be found in the assembly sub folder under the subfolder valve seat.

00:16

We're going to be creating a view representation for a section view of this design.

00:20

Notice that if we expand our representations and expand our view rep,

00:24

we have a default view rep that has a section view

00:27

and our primary view rep which does not,

00:30

we're going to create a new view representation with a section view

00:34

to do this. We're going to right, click on view repp and select new.

00:38

We're gonna call this top section.

00:41

And with that view rep active, we want to create a new section view.

00:45

When we go to our tools under view,

00:48

we can create a new section view by selecting half section.

00:52

When we do this, we need to rotate the model, select a plane

00:56

and pull it down to the appropriate location.

00:59

We want a section view where our valve meets the valve seat,

01:03

we'll select OK.

01:05

And now we've created a section view that allows us

01:07

to go back and forth between a front section,

01:10

a top section

01:11

as well as our primary

01:13

when we rotate this around,

01:14

you'll also note that the model appearance changes with the view representation.

01:19

So with our top section view,

01:21

let's go ahead and change the appearance of the needle.

01:24

We're going to select the default option from the drop down

01:28

and we want to select a brass material. So we'll select brass satin

01:32

and notice it changes the appearance in that view representation.

01:36

Our default section view

01:37

and our primary each view representation can have

01:40

unique appearances for each of our parts.

01:43

So in this case,

01:44

make sure that we do set the appearance of our

01:46

parts to match that of our default front section view

01:50

from here. Let's go ahead and make sure that we do save the assembly before moving on.
