Thanks so much Dale. Just got it. I think I'll be calling in sick for work tomorrow!

On the link below, it shows how to make a tire. The method of push pulling up a tapered tread is done too fast. Any idea how ALL the faces were selected and pulled up with a taper?
Thanks,
Jeff

Nice job Fred. Which render program are you using?
Jeff

And who said Christmas is over! This is awesome news!!! Getting my Visa ready....
Jeff

Really nice work Adam. I am constantly inspired on this forum when I see models and renders like yours and many others here.
Cheers,

Jeff

I'm not sure why, but I still get some missing faces when I try to do a drill bit. I match the segments in the helix and the cylinder. I build it large so I can scale down....same result. Very frustrating. Could there be any issues with other rubies effecting the ones I use for this process? The gray hair just keeps coming as I keep trying to figure it out. HELPPPPPP!

Frustrated, Jeff

Wondering....does the precision of the helix and the edge count need to be at a certain amount or do they need to match?
Cheers,
Jeff

Hey Gus,

For your first Tutorial, really good! It helped for sure. Also, I'm going to get that ruby you used to make the helix a tube. That's for that too
Cheers,
Jeff

Hey G,
I tried your suggestion but still had the same result. Here's the SU file. Thanks for helping.

Hey Boo,

Very neat! Thats a great old song too....can't remember the singer tho....????
Jeff

Hey....thanks guys. You were both very helpfull. Much appreciated. What a very cool tool! I hope I can post a creation soon. I've been using SU for about 3 years now but have really increase my knowledge and skills since I joined this great forum. The script writers have made this program the best! Hats off to everyone who posts with help and solutions. Merry Christmas everyone!
Jeff

Hey John...I must be doing something wrong. I followed your lead but it creates a flat surface....?

Jeff

I've downloaded the newest release but I am having trouble making sense of this ruby. Are there any good tuts on it?

Jeff

Awesome job Watkins! Did you do the exploded view manually?

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Tim,
A good friend of mine uses Turbocad. I've watched him use it and tried it myself but didn't get to involved in it. If given more time, i would think it looks fairly easy to learn and the price seems fair. Have you checked it out before? The same friend also uses Google Sketchup but he hasn't lately. Old habits I guess...

Good luck with the findings...

Jeff

Hi Mannie,
Looks good buddy....especially for your first time. Good going. More you do, the better they will get! Keep going!!

Cheers, Jeff
