          Goodmorning all πŸ˜‰
          I have spent allmost 2 hours on making the rope, but i don't seem to get it right. I guess i be needing some help with this one, cause i cant see it all to well. I bet that is the problem with doing this for me. Thanks in advance

            I think the rope reaching into the barn would hang more "naturally" in a kind of tangent way which is easily reproducible.

            Here I drew a half circle first (the piece resting on the hoister) then starting from one end, still with the arc tool I can get a nice, cyan inference meaning the two arcs are tangent to each other:

            Tangent inferencing to arc
            Then I simply "finished" the other end usingh the line tool

            Finally the "skippy":

                Mannie, I did one a year or so ago for an in-game load image, no rendering straight photo texturing, thought maybe you could reference from it (it's part of my Tudor collection)

                    Barrels (and such geometry in general) are easy to be lathed around a circular path with the Follow me tool just draw the cross section from two lines and two adjacent arcs.

                        Now that's superb! Even of a half ready model that's already a nice render, congrats! πŸ‘

                          Mannie that looks great, if I may make one observation, the wall panels seem to bump out at the seams, try reversing the bump in the material editor in Vue. (negative value)

                            Good tip Solo, thanks. These textures where the free low res ones from arroway, i'm looking at my budget and maybe buy that disc cause good textures will do alot to the model. πŸ‘

                                    Ok , im halfway thru the tut, now i am stuck at the step where you copy it 24 times around the rim. How does that work do i have to copy it manually 24x and rotate each or is there a fast way to do this ?

                                      Hi Mannie,

                                      That's done with the Rotate tool and the Ctrl button. This way you don't only copy the thng but by typing the number of copies and hitting enter you can make multiple copies.

                                      Rad more srolling down to "Radial arrays" here:

                                          Because you are rotating those pieces around a corner of them. You should select the one you make first then get the centerpoint of the circle and rotate them around the centre of the circle. Right click on the circle line and select Centerpoint to get a guide point in the centre.
