Creating the volume of the wheel

1. Visualize the "profile" layer and activate it. The volume of the wheel will be created in this layer. Deactivate the "prism" layer.

2. In the Copy window, choose Translation and Surfaces. A translation of 10 units will be made. To do this, enter two points that define a vector for this translation, for example (0, 0, 0) and (0, 0, -10).

3. Choose the option Do Extrude Surfaces from the Copy window. The volume that is defined by the translation will be created.

4. Click Select and select the surface of the wheel. Press ESC.

5. Choose Geometry Create Volume.

6. Select all the surfaces forming the part and press ESC. Again, press ESC to exit the function of creating volumes.

7. Select the two layers and click them On so that they are visible.

8. Choose Render Flat lighting from the mouse menu to visualize a more realistic version of the model (Figure 32).
