    How to draw a tractor tire

    Guys. I can not for the life of me figure out how to draw tires. More specific.. Tractor Tires with the lugs. Can anyone give me some help on how to accomplish this.

    Thanks
    Dusty

    yes.. Exactly. I am allowed to do it solid on the inside though. What I have to do is draw a few tires to scale of the the real ones. LIke 1/32 scale. The rim that will be used is solid plastic because it is a prototype Model. I have the real tires dims. but Im just lost on how to create the profile of the tire the best way. I have several size tires to do. Mostly varying widths and I would like an easy way to change the lugs to the new width. Anyway. Sorry for rambling.

    Here are pics of the sequence.
    1. Sketch tyre profile and Boss Revolve.
    2. Create Helix for one side.
    3. Create Plane on end of helix. Sketch lug profile and Extrude Sweep.
    4. Create new plane rotated from #2 Plane and repeat #2 and #3 for 2nd side.
    5. Circular pattern.
    6. Cut Revolve inside tyre.
