Modeling parts of the bucket using the program inventor was really good, I did not have any program problems, maybe it was remembering how to use it is the only difficult thing about it. The biggest problem i encountered while modeling is figuring out the sizes of the parts as i was only basing it on the images supplied to us. I started of by sketching the main parts and then writing the sizes of the small details to it, like the holes on each part, how big the holes are and how far apart are they to each other to make it the same as the next part which will later on be connected to it to fit them on to each other.
After modeling the main parts i had to assemble them together, this is the hard part as i have to choose the right "constraints" to be use to make the part connect to each other and stay to the right position. Each part usually need 2 or more constraint to make them stay in the right place and prevent them to be moving around or rotating(for the parts that does not need rotation). For some parts i have to make an invisible plane cos they are on an angle or needs to offset.
After modeling all the parts I started assembling all the parts together.
