I was wondering if I could get some help on making a car rim, it seems really difficult to do but with some help I’m sure it’s do-able. I’m on a short time line but I’d really like to try it out. The rims we would make are a copy of the rims on a Mercedes W154,the image is attached below
Accepted solution
One part for the outer rim, which is a simple "Revolve". Then create one spoke hole and use the Pattern Feature with the circular path option. Another part for the centre hub which it's basic shape is a "Revolve as well, then create a pair of holes for the inner two spoke holes and pattern them. You will then need to create the exterior spoke hole and pattern it.
You will then need to create three different spokes as the back row is the shortest length, the middle and exterior longer still.
If you study a spoked wheel, you will notice a pattern of "pairs of spoke". If you place these "pairs", you can then use the "Pattern Parts" with the "circular" option in the IAM assembly module to place the remainder of the spokes for each layer rather than having to place each spoke on it's own.
