Problem designing a wheel in Solidworks
Problem designing a wheel in Solidworks
(OP)
I am new to solidworks, never used it before, and this problem is probably easy but please bear with me. I'm creating a wheel for a design project in Solidworks 2001. I have basically got a rim with a solid disk in the middle. I don't know how to create spokes for example. Any helpful tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

You could also have a really short piece of a line segment out there.
The easiest way I can tell you to find it is edit the sketch, without selecting a command draw a box around part of the geometry. If you see a grip that seems out of place that is probably your problem.

You can use Tools\Sketch Tools\"Check sketch for feature" this will let you know what is wrong with your sketch.
