Revolve profiles and manipulate layers
- [Instructor] Now that the drive train is complete, let's consider the bicycle wheel. I provided cross sections here of the rim and the tire itself. And these cross sections are in the same plane as the sketch of the wheel itself. So, what we need to do is rotate these cross section sketches so that we can revolve them and create geometry out of it. So, to do that, I'm going to make a selection that includes both of these sketches and then I'll go to the Home tab and click on the 3D Rotate tool and this presents us with these different colored rings, this gizmo and the gizmo is centered at the selection center. So, I want to rotate this whole selection round this particular axis in this case, so I'll click on the ring and then move the cursor down and because ortho is on, I can only rotate this in 90-degree increments. So, if I click down below, I can rotate it exactly 90 degrees. Then I'll press escape to deselect and the command is done, so there's the result. Now let's consider…
