- Alright, now we're taking a look at the actual ring support part file, and I wanted to show you that you can also change materials as well as appearances in the part file as well, so anytime you need to adjust when you're inside of those, you certainly can. I'll adjust something bright that you can see here. And, so, our idea here is we need to create a pattern of these ring supports, so that we can put multiple tumblers inside of the beverage caddie. So, we will close out of the ring support for now, and we're going to actually create a new assembly file. Create. We're going to place the ring support one time into an assembly file. Hit escape. And we're going to apply that grounded constraint to this part so that it doesn't have any degrees of freedom. And now we're going to use pattern, and this will be a rectangular pattern, to make a series of ring supports. So, it's already selected the component on mine. If you haven't I'll just kind of show you here, again. Pattern, component…
