Lesson 3 - Modifying Simple Shapes - SolidWorks Tutorial: LEGO Off-Road Buggy

Welcome to Lesson 3 of the SolidWorks x LEGO - Build & Learn series! In this lesson, we take our 2x2 plate design to the next level by modifying it into a 2x2 plate with a pinhole. This part introduces new geometry and challenges, giving you the opportunity to expand your modeling skills.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

How to modify simple shapes to incorporate new features. Techniques for working with different geometry while maintaining design intent.

Tips for efficiently creating variations of parts in SolidWorks. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how to adapt and refine your models as we continue building the Off-Road Buggy. Let’s get started!
