Toasting etiquette differs all over the world. In casual settings, we choose to clink glasses together while formal settings may call for a simple glass raise without any contact with other glasses. Furthermore, wine glass aesthetics factor into the overall shape and proportions of the design. All designs are kept at constant height.

• Design 1: American Culture - The “American Culture” parameter embodies the concept of a strong, hearty clink when toasting. Thus, the stem and lip thickness are wider to account for clinking forces while the cup is deeper to prevent spillage (or carry more liquid).
• Design 2: French Culture - The “French Culture” parameter embodies the concept of an aesthetics-driven wine glass. Here, it is assumed that the toast force will vary depending on the beauty of the glass. Therefore, a sleek, well-proportioned glass will be treated delicately. This glass has a long, thin stem, subtle curve at the base, and a thin cup.
• Design 3: Chinese Culture - The “Chinese Culture” parameter embodies the concept of a glass that is easy to lift with both hands supporting the glass (assuming one hand holds the stem while the other supports the base), but does not make contact with other glasses. The primary adjustable parameter is the depth of the curve on the base. Thus, this glass has a very deep base while the stem and cup variables are in-between those of the American and French examples.

• Note that parameters defined here as “dependent parameters” are actually independent in the CAD file. Some “dependent parameters” were tied to multiple “independent parameters,” which resulted in incongruency in the logic diagram.

• If unsure what else needs to be constrained (aka, you still see white members), try dragging the member around to see how it moves. Once it cannot move on its own, it is fully constrained
• Sometimes constraints only work for your sketch in its current (as-its-being-drawn) form.
• If your member cannot create a revolve with the “shaft” tool (very finicky), then create a “join” out of the profile you want to use, and do a simple surface revolve (much less finicky).
