Can you File>Export your *.f3d file of your attempt to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

It is more complex than might be initially thought if true replication is desired.

Hi TheCADWhisperer, OMG this is exactly what I want! I am slightly unsure what you mean in your first message but I agree it seemed more complex than it should be. Any chance you could please share this file with me? Thank you so much for your help!!

Hi TheCADWhisperer, Thank you for your reply. My attempt is of no help to anyone, I was hoping you could send me your file. The fan also has to be realistic as if it was made from paper and being opened, like the last attached photo. It can be done in a 3D animation programme so must be doable here. I don't need it animated but needs to be how it would be once opened in an animation around the stick in the first two photos. Thank you

I recommend that you start with the Tutorials.

You will first want to learn how to create a fully defined sketch.

Once you have gone through the Tutorials you will then be able to follow the file (or step-by-step) instructions that I give you.

Attach your progress file here when you have the circle, and 3 lines completed for next set of steps.
