3D Wagon

A power point of the wagon designing process to download.

These are some preliminary steps to modeling in Rhino.

Selecting the correct scale is important so the end model

is the right size.

These slides show how one creates wheel spokes, beginning

with a cylinder, to creating spokes by arraying the cylinder

around a central point so that they form a base for the rim.

The wheel spokes need to radiate out from a central

point. This section shows how that is achieved.

When adding a tire, it's important that

it's centered on the spokes.

How to add an axle so that it's centered on the wheel.

Show an easy way to create a wheel second wheel

so that it is straight and lined up on the axle.

Steps for connecting the wheels to an axle.

Creating the wagon floor is simply a rectangular

box attached to the 2 axles. The wheels will not turn.

Not essential but it helps to get an idea

of what your model looks like.
