On Page 108 of the above guide, the section on “Create the axle” does not work properly. I end up with an axle that is nowhere near where the instructions explain. From then on, I cannot continue with the instructions. Please help. I am trying to improve my knowledge but with faulty instructions I can’t get anywhere. thank you. Susana
The instructions look correct for me.
Pay close attention to step 4:
4. At the Base of cylinder… prompt, move the cursor to the Front viewport.
Before you enter the axle centerpoint, the Front viewport must be active, just like the image in the tutorial shows.
Any luck?
John, thank you. No luck, the problem is that when constructing the cylinder for the axle, the options for placement are vertical or none. I end up with the axle in the wrong position. Besides, there are two sets of instruction for the pull toy and they are contradictory.
One says
solid menu, base of cylinder, front viewport active: type 9,6.5 enter. The other says 9, 6.5, 10
At the radius 0.5
I lost the second version because I am trying the penguin. But I cannot move on until I have the proper position for the axle. S
ok, I got it. don’t know how. I will continue with the wheels. thank you!!!
I suggest going back and seeing if you can get the bad result again.
It was most likely just letting your mouse pointer drifting into the wrong viewport.
The viewport’s name will go bold when you’re in it.
Cheers
