Combining surface and solid modeling

- In this video we'll model the acorn nuts,…as they're called, which go on the end…of the rear axle.…There's a drawing of them over here.…So right now this object is a group.…I'm going to un-group it so that I can…gain access to the individual pieces.…Let's make a new layer called 3D acorn nuts,…and we will make that layer current…and give it a color cyan.…

Okay, now I'm going to join by pressing j + enter.…Going to join these three pieces together,…and then I'm going to type l + a + y + c+ enter…for layer current, and I'm going to change that…to the current layer.…Then revolve this poly line around this axis.…Then down below we have a nut that we can use…to tighten with a wrench.…

So to create that we'll use the polygon tool…to draw a hexagon.…p + o + l + enter, six, enter.…The center of the polygon is right here.…It will be circumscribed about the circle.…So it's bigger.…I'll click the endpoint right here.…I'll use the solid tab and use extrude there…to extrude this nut up.…That way it's just a time saver so that I don't…
