1. On the ribbon, click 3D Model tab  Work Features panel  Plane .
2. Select appropriate vertices, edges, or faces to define a work plane.
3. For offset work planes, drag the work plane to the appropriate location and enter a distance or angle in the Offset edit box. Click the check mark in the edit box to accept the preview and create the offset work plane.
   If more than one solution is possible, a selection box appears. Click the forward or reverse arrows in the selection box, and then click the check mark when the correct solution is previewed.
4. Optionally, resize the work plane. Right-click the work plane and clear the check mark from Auto-Resize, if necessary. Click a grip handle on one of the work plane corners and drag to resize.

Wrap-Up Questions

1. The intention of the mug 2.0 was to make a mug that it would be an alternative to carrying a insulated cup around at home.

2. The mug was to be made out of a special alloy that could resist heat transfer, as well as an insulated layer to help retain more heat.

3. The mug 2.0 is a far more efficient beverage carrier to a standard mug.

4. This reminds me of the product improvement I did at the beginning of the year, but with extra constraints.

5. As it is a mug, it bears close resemblance to a normal mug.

6. The mug 2.0 can be a revolution in drinking technology. It has the potential to make regular mugs almost nonexistant.

Puzzle Design Final Reflecton

1. It is important to build a model if a product in a CAD software before building a final prototype because it allows for the elimination of errors related to part dimensions.

2. One thing that I liked about the puzzle design was the foray into Inventor. It gave me the opportunity to explore new parts of Inventor.

3. One thing that I would change if I could it would be to have more time to sand all the pieces and as well as the ability to clamp the cubes together.

Intro To Design: Puzzle Design Process

Cube Combinations:
The initial brainstorming of different cube combinations that could be used

Cake Layers:
The cake layers helped me to decide which puzzle would be a harder one to solve.

Design 1:

Design 2:

Final Design (Design 1): I chose the first design because it was more intuitive then design 2 and it took slightly longer to solve.


Multi-View Sketches:
The multi-view sketches helped me visualize how the parts would have to be built.

Inventor Parts:
The parts designed in inventor to facilitate the creation of the parts.
