| Creating Isometric Sprockets & Chain Wheels - page 9 |
 |
7.75 inch Chain Wheel part 1. Duplicate the cutout shape and snap the bottom of the cutout shape to the top of the large circle and super nudge it down once. Duplicate the cutout shape and snap the top to the bottom of the large circle. Super nudge it up once. Shift click select the cutout shapes and combine them. There are 48 teeth on this chain wheel, 360 degrees divided by 48 teeth equals 7.5 degrees. Activate the Transform Docker and switch to the rotation section and apply a rotation of 7.5 degrees to a duplicate 23 times. |
 |
7.75 inch Chain Wheel part 2. Combine the cutout shapes (Ctrl+L) and activate the Shaping Docker. Apply a trim to the outside circle. Delete the cutout shapes combination and combine the outside shape and inside circle. |
 |
Each of the chain wheels are attached by 5 tabs that extend in to within 2.50 inches of the center. The tabs are 0.75 thick. Create a rectangle that measures 0.75 wide by 2.5 inches high. Since we are going to round the corners come as close as possible. Use the Node Edit Tool to round the corners to 32 and convert to curves. Marquee select all of the nodes and hit the plus sign to add nodes. Next create a circle with a 2.5-inch diameter and convert to curves. |
