I'm trying to teach myself how to use SolidWorks. I'm working with this tutorial: How to create 17 inch car wheel but I can't for the life of me do Step 4. I either cut the rim off the wheel, or I get rebuild error messages. I've attached my drawing file. Can anyone please advise me as to how to "Insert sketch on edge wheel face, sketch for arm hole"? I'm having trouble figuring out exactly where to attach the sketch. I'm not sure if I'm even working the correct face!
Thanks!
from what I can see there should be an arc section along the edge of the rim creating a closed profile to cut out the spoke shape (see the red line below) you could achieve this using convert entities on the model edge and then trimming away the area you don't need.
its a terrible tutorial that's not explained very well (at all), if you really want to learn solidworks you might be better with proper training or at the very least a decent how to guide book that explains why you are doing things rather than just telling you what to do.
