Sweep spokes along 3D paths

“

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to model the spokes off of the front hub. Unfortunately, we can't just copy the spokes that we already made for the rear wheel up here because the front hub has a different size. And therefore, the spokes have different geometries. Let's turn on all the layers by typing LAYON. And let's isolate some of the layers. Type LAYISO. And select the front hub, one of the spokes, and the rim on the wheel. Press Enter. And now what we need to do is design a couple of spokes here. So this is the 2D spokes layer. I'd like to also turn on the 3D spokes layer and set that as the current layer. And then I'll just pick two adjacent spokes here where they meet near the hub, and I'm going to trace over them by drawing in a line on top of each one. So I'm going to draw a line here, on this particular spoke. And then I'll draw a line on its sister spoke, which is adjacent. And now I'm going to turn off the 2D spokes layer by typing LAYOFF and then clicking on…
