Hey guys,
There was a couple tools I'm used to in other programs (Primarily Autocad Inventor) that I haven't found in bleder and was hoping you guys could help me figure it out.
1) Radial Copying : I would use this for creating gears, rims, etc.
Essentially what it does is is takes a selected segment, and copies its features 'x' amount of times around a center. When I used it in inventor you could select the frequency of things such as gear-teeth or spokes around the circumference of rotation.
2) Chamfering edges : Makes edges rounded
The only way I can think to do this is by extruding the edges on the z-axis is scaling them down in repetition, but Autocad had the option to pick the radius of chamfer and the ability to just click and edge and do it, so you could go back and do it as opposed to having to do it when you get to that point.
3) This isn't really from autocad, I just don't know how to do it, but coloring :
I don't know how people color certain segments of a model in model.
Any advice would be appreacited, thank you.
