    hello everyone,
    i;ve only been using SP for about the last week, yet i have not been able to find any help or any good tutorials on how to properly use the joints or to add multiple joints to a single object. I had been hoping to model a working pendulum clock, though obviously the big problem whith that would be to build a chain for the drive eight.(gears have been a problem as well....) anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

      Sorry there aren't more tutorials. I am not much good at making them. Best source is all the models on 3dwarehouse.

      A clock.

      Here are some gears:

      Sounds like you might be trying something a little bit on the advanced side. Tell me what you are trying to do and maybe post a model and I'll give you some pointers.

      Chris.

        Hey, thanks for the reply,
        yeah... i do realize that the clock animation is a bit advanced to be jumping into,lol. I've been looking into a tutorial on how to create a piston, and been trying to get that working.

        one of the big problems i've been having can be found in a piston in fact. that problem being to get multiple joints to a single piece, like the connecting rod between the piston and the crank shaft.

        Anyways, thanks for the suggestions,

        Mike

            lol i wish i had seen that one last night,
            i found another one that i had seen before through 3dwarehouse, though had hard time getting it to work properly. i finally did though. I dont have anything that can capture video froma running SP (any suggestions?) so i decided to just through up the sketch file for you guys to critique πŸ˜„

            next step... the engine block and cams....lol

              Looks good!

              Here is a tip. You can use the layer manager to hide/unhide your joints. All joints are placed on a layer.
