Making a wooden wagon wheel assembly. I have parts for the hub and the circumference -- the tire will go on the latter.
They are both fixed to the origin and thus are concentric.
Both are extruded from sketch circles.
I first tried to create a boss/base extrude on the circumference, based on a circle sketch on a reference plane tangent to the outer face of the outer (circumference) ring and using the axis of the hub. That was grayed out.
I was able to create a cut-extrude. I was able to then turn that into
20 cut-extrudes arranged radially around the wheel.Created a spoke (extruded circle), brought it into the asby, positioned it in the seed extrude-cut, thinking I could just do a circular pattern of spokes.
But circular pattern won't let me select the spoke. I get the hub axis, but click as I may, feature or face, nothing on the spoke will go into the Circular Pattern dialog.
What geometric, featuriffic, or SoldWorkian concept am I missing here? If I had a drill and cut dowels, I sure as heck could do this...
