Nice :D Glad they finally made it possible to flow a surface along another surface. Couldn't do that back in the 3.0 Days. Would have to convert to mesh and then flow it and hope for the best or just flow the curves on the surface and build from there.
really nice explained tutorial one of the best I have seen. I have a question from your tut. and I was wondering how you made this possible. in minute 3:52 you select the polyline command. and start making lines in a perspective view. 2 questions from this. 1 how do you make the cursor to show the cross lines? 2 how do you make to draw a line in the z direction on perspective mode? I always have to go to front view to finish drawing if I wanna do a line in the z axis. thank you and also keep your tutorials they are really good. thanks
Maybe someone could help me... Because i cannot put the surface i created around the surface of the tire. I cannot select "base surface - select near a corner". everytime I try to click, it doesn't work...
Oh, I get this one. You need to have a separate planar surface under your "tire pattern". And you need to click on that surface. But even after I find out that problem, I am getting another problem. The flow along surface is giving me bad result.
What an I doing wrong? I left a 1mm offset and the wrapped around thing still doesn´t want to boolean union with the tire. Both the tire and the pattern are closed solids bbut a boolean union fails both on the whole thing and the individual blocks.
+Andrew King Might need to check the tolerance of the file you are using. I generally use small objects inches for everything. Might also see if it works manually with trim. If that doesn't work, find the intersection and use the curves to trim... Boolean can be finicky sometimes... #1 suspect is alway the seams.
I solved the whole thing by simplifying the geometry. Rhino was still computing the union for about 7 minutes but it worked. :D But next time a boolean fails on me I´ll sure remember your advice. Thanks ;)
Flow along surface problem! I get strange direction of the pattern. That is make no sense! (It makes for sure if I understand what I am doing wrong, but I can't figure it out) :(
Karadjordje Trkulja Try selecting a different edges near different corners. This is how Rhino knows how to layout the pattern on the surface. In some cases, drawing the reference plane a different way might also help.
Karadjordje Trkulja Check the direction of the base AND the target surface. The red and green arrow has to show in the same direction. This was my mistake. After trying to master this tutorial for 2 hours, i finally got it haha
Where are you getting these patterns for rim & tire to trace them in rhino!? can you msg me with any info on this I would appreciate it alot thanks in advance!! Great tuts by the way.
Awesome work Brian. I've not seen a tutorial on this topic as well as you have covered it!
Straight forward tutorial!! Thank you so much!!!
You have to do more videos. It's incredible.
Thank you, very nice tutorials. I need MOAR!!!:)

It is special technic for along the curve , thank you .
Cool technique! Thanks for the tutorial!

thanks
If you want to make a draw line in Z direction, you have to hold CTRL + click on the plane, where you want to start to move in Z direction.
Nice work. Many thanks!
Thank you very much Teacher.You explained very good.l will follow you.(in İstanbul)
Wow, so precise.. I like the interface, seems very light and no hiccups- is it because of powerful graphics card?
Awesome!
Great tutorial! Did you finish the tire patterns using Autocad?
this tute worths more than a like!
Hi Brian! Thank you for your Rhino tuts! You are serious talented for this, do you have more tuts in any other site like Udemy? Best, J

Same to me! Hahaha... There is no tutorial without problems. Whatever you do, you can't do as the tutorial! :D

Are you using NURBs?

Tryed many combinations... Nothing.

+Brian Oltrogge there is a little problem with your tire. how are you going to inflate it with air?
Where are you getting these patterns for rim & tire to trace them in rhino!? can you msg me with any info on this I would appreciate it alot thanks in advance!! Great tuts by the way.
I designed the rim, but the pattern for the tire was just a google image search for tread patterns.
i think you are pro but why Rhino?
