Create the drive belt as a solid object

“

- [Instructor] Let's work on the drive belt next. It consists of a spline and a polyline, and this is all on the ground, as it were. If you come over here to the cross section, you can see that all the sketches are on the ground or on the center line, but we want to move the drive belt up to the belt line, which is 48 millimeters up. So let's go ahead and copy this up. I'll type co for copy, enter. Select these two elements and copy them up 48 millimeters into position. I'll orbit around, and let's take a close look at how this interacts with the sprocket that's there, and if you look closely, you'll see that this is just on the top edge of the rotor, and the whole sprocket appears to have a tiny gap between it and the controller, and if you look at the sketch over here, there's no gap. So what we need to do to correct this is actually move the sprocket up a little bit. It turns out that's 1/2 millimeter gap, so I'm going to move the teeth and the rotor, which are the elements in the…
