Content center / bearings: R4A not listed. or skate bearings - why and where?

[DrStein99]

I went to content center, bearing generator and seems like a limited list of bearings probably used by Boeing or someone trying to build a jet engine.  I would like to access a list of common ball bearings, in standard imperial (R4A) - or metric too, like the most popular skateboard 608zz bearing.

Is there another catalog I can click and download, or link?

@DrStein99

Although the content center has thousands and thousands of commonly used purchased components, doesn't mean it has everything that you need.  In the end you may just need to model it.   Have you checked the vendor's web site to see if they have models you can use?  Use google and search?  Within a few seconds I found models related to the bearing that you need.

@DrStein99 once you find your parts or create them you can author them to the content center.

Here is a link that might help any questions on adding them.

Thank you for the link of authoring and publishing.  I am just a simple person and was looking for simple words like "add your own content and customize".  Authoring and publishing confused me, and sounds too much like preparing the next 2 years of my life filing paperwork at a patent office.

@DrStein99 yeah the verbiage is a bit technical and scary but if it gets too difficult make a new post on where you're getting stuck. 

If you're in the skateboard industry and going to make models of your deck and trucks you could add a Decal to the top of it and use the Render environment to make nice images for advertising.

Back in college I had a Josh Kalis Alien Workshop Board but fell too much and never got the hang of it. 

Now I just use it to tow me behind the dog on walks at mach speed.

Just realized you might instead be talking about inline skates? Concussed myself doing that once. Either way hope this helps!
