- [Instructor] Now, let's work on the fork itself. The fork can be divided into a couple of different pieces. We have a shaft, up here, and then we have the body of the fork that slides up and down on the shaft and dampens when the wheel hits an obstacle, so now, we also have some welded on pieces that are going, this is going to hold the brake caliper, and then we have a dropout, down here, that's going to hold the front axle. I'd like to get a top view of this, so I'll type UCS, Enter. I'll use the object option and click on this line right there, so now the UCS is parallel with that, and then I'll type plan, Enter, Enter. This will plan into the current UCS, and then zoom in and get a better look at that. Now, this entire fork has rotational symmetry, with the exception of these welded on pieces up here. So, let's start by modeling the shaft and the fork body. I'll create some layers to accommodate those items. I'll type -ForkShaft, and I'll turn that on, and I'll set that current.…
