Lesson 9 of 22
Combine orthogonal plates, gussets, and oriented hole cutters.

How this model works
The gusset polygon is drawn in local XY; a cyclic rotation maps it into the YZ plane before extrusion along X. The vertical mounting-hole cutter rotates a cylinder from Z onto Y. Both ribs overlap the plates. This is a modeling exercise: loads, layer orientation, fasteners, and material must be evaluated independently.

Make it your own
Increase height and depth independently. Add a second vertical hole, ensuring it does not intersect a gusset or the base.
Change one parameter at a time and inspect the result. Use the workspace reset action to return to this lesson’s original model.
