Using equations in Autodesk Inventor

If you want to use equations in the Autodesk Inventor then first write it down in Microsoft Office using insert equation tool. Then change the equation option to linear. Now make changes according to following link (valid formula syntax and abbreviations can be used in Autodesk Inventor). Now you can use your equations without any error.
Take a look on the following page too to get an overall knowledge how equations are written in Autoedsk Inventor. Formulas for "Everyday" Use.

Deck (Architectural Model) Autodesk Inventor 2012

Here are some more images of Deck after some modification using visual styles. After visiting the view tab> appearance panel you will find lightning styles. Image-based lights styles are very useful for the visualization of you model. Image-based lights, also called IBL, derive their lighting parameters from high dynamic range (HDR) images. The image provides a source location and luminance or radiance values that correspond more with real world lighting, providing a more realistic viewing experience.

Above picture was before applying the Visual Stiles and the following images are after applying the visual styles:--

There are many setting that can be done after applying predefined styles.

Use of View Representation (Autodesk Inventor 2012)

Following video gives an over view of Architecture Model that was created with the aid of Autodesk Inventor Software.

You can understand step by step modeling process of the Deck and it gives the various isometric views of the models too.

I utilized the view representation feature of Autodesk Inventor to create the above video.

View representations allow the user to control the visibility and appearance of components in the assembly. Creating Several View representations allows a use or multiple users to see the assembly in whatever way they want.

Download this 3D CAD Model and check the browser bar, there are various view representations available.
