How to make a spoked wheel

[HarryHuver]

I am making a model of a bicycle, but i can't make a spokedwheel.asm properly. How do i make a pattern for the spokes?

Hello,

That depends how you have modelled the wheel,
how about patterning some points around the wheel, then put your first spoke on the first point, then pattern by reference?

I would set up the assembly so that (0,0,0) is the center of the hub. Then place two spokes that cross each other (3X). Then you can pattern those spokes on one side then mirror the pattern to the otherside. Now realize this is just in general without telling you the menu picks. I started the same model some time ago. When I get to my home computer I will take a look.
