Re: need help modeling wheels

so wait, go you havea full spke or half,

mirror and weld if you only have half.

ok so you should now have 1 spoke outta 5, what your gonna do is go to where you have the create, modify, hierachy, motion, display, and utilities (top right)

with your spoke selected go to hierachy and choose affect pivot only, and right click the move icon and set the pivot to 0'0'0

now go back to modify.

So your set to rotate and make 4 last spokes, heres where max is smart.
Go to Tool>Array and use these settyings, you might need to change the axis on which its rotating on (X,Y,Z) i set mine to z. (remeber you want a 360 roattion with 5 instances.
