Just for fun I have added some rudimentary suspension and steering control to your wheel assembly. Hope you find it useful.

Wow! Thanks so much! That explains a lot! So the parts were colliding with each other because their SP shapes were incorrect? Is there a way to actually see what shape a thing is? For instance, if I select "cone" how do I know what the orientation of the cone is?

Thanks for the controls too :^)

Hi all. New to the board and to SP, but pretty facile with Sketchup. Trying to get beyond the "blocks spinning around each other" phase, and I've hit a wall. I think everything's convex, etc, but I'm obviously missing something. If someone could take a peek at this model and help me out, I'd sure appreciate it.

I still have some pretty fundamental questions too - is there some kind of a manual anywhere? Thanks!
