If your workflow allows a part to have different colors without having a dif-
ferent part number, view representations can give you the option of placing the
part in an assembly using different representations to show different colors.

The advanced filleting tools in conjunction with lofting and sweeping tools open many
doors for exploration in part modeling. Patterns and mirrored parts and features are great
ways of simplifying and speeding up the creation of parts. Used in combination, these
tools make the possibilities endless.

Look at some of your current designs for opportunities to use mirroring and patterning.
Try using fillets instead of sketched curves.
Shell features can be used to create thin parts by removing all but a few faces. Consider
whether you have parts on which you could use this technique, and give it a try.
Using work features is a critical skill to master. Practice using them and combining them.
