Spoked Wheel construct
Spoked Wheel construct
(OP)
What would be the best way to get an opposing set of 7 spokes into this Hub part?
They would be in alternate postions around the hub; much like the spokes in a bicycle wheel.
I've Mirrored the Revolve using Plane 1 which represents the center of the wheel rim (exists in the Ay)
What to do with the Mirrored body ? I could Insert a Circular Pattern of 14, and Skip ever other one, but the Seed can't be one of them.
TIA

RE: Spoked Wheel construct
What associative relations, if any, need to be in the3 opposing spokes?
Can't you just use an existing plane (or create a new one) and create new sketch geometry for the new set of spokes?

After the mirror of the revolve, do a 2 body pattern of 360/14 degrees. Delete the first body. Do your pattern of 7 equally spaced bodies. Combine everything.

and...it's very much like cpretty described.
MadMango...the spokes would be "mirrored" and alternating between the ones already Circular Patterned on the right side
So, here's what I ended up doing....
Insert Mirror of Solid Body (from the right side) using Plane 1
Insert Feature Move/Copy
Rotate the (mirrored) Body using the Temporary Axis of the central hub and Rotate by the amount of 360/14 degrees.
Insert Component Pattern> Circular Pattern and using the Rotated Body
Thanks for the help.

At any rate, here's the part with the Bodies showing in the FT
