Project component in multiple places on model

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have created a car, and one of the components my model contains is a wheel. Now I'd like to have four wheels. The wheels should all be identical, now and in the future, except for their location in the model, thus I don't believe I should copy and paste the wheel to get four wheels. Instead I am thinking that I need some way to project a component multiple places on the model.

Is this the right way to go about this, and how do I accomplish it?

Sincerely,

Chris

Oh, boy.  read up on how to use components.  Once you create a wheel as a component, copies of that component will all up date with changes.  You would use "Joints" to put the wheels in place.
