Point me to your leader...

Or to a place where I can find the right answer. LOL

I've seen numerous pictures of tires, wheels, lovely curving objects of all types, and I can't make them myself. I've tried everything I know, from cylinders to the arc tool, but I can't make them work right.

Anyone know where I can find decent tutorial will tell me how to make a tire and rim and that look reasonable?

I would like to be able to create fancy rims and stuff, but right now, my wheels stink. So, I tend to stay from rounded fenders, tires, and wheels.

Any links, or good smacks upside the head would be nice.

Just so you know, I'm using a Mac with the free version of SU7.

Thanks

Do you want to make tires with threads? Can you 'cheat' with a texture for the threads?
As for the rims, there's so many different styles, got an example of what kind you want?

I think that's what I want. I'll have to try and play around with it once I get home.

I did notice that the interface is a bit different. I'm wondering what I don't have turned on, at this point. I'll have to play around with a few things, from the looks of it.

Thanks

Ok, after watching the tutorial, I'm still messed up.
I can't get the model to create the turn from horizontal to vertical. Unfortunately, Solo does something that I can't see well enough to duplicate. The video is kind of blurry on my screen.

Any Thoughts?

THanks,

Umm..bump.

Anyone??? Any thoughts at all?
