How to Make a 3D Model of the One Ring in Inventor
Ever wanted to create a 3D-model of the one ring, with the correct measurements as seen hanging on the neck of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings movies? Well, start reading already!
Steps
-
1Press the new part (mm) and start up a new sketch. From here, make lines with measurements as seen on the image.Ad
-
2Exit out of the Line/Rectangle tool. Now, delete every measurement on the sketch.
-
3Select the Circle tool. Make a circle, having the center-point on top of the line to the very right. Make sure the edge of the circle touches the middle of the left side of the rectangle.
