ryan864 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I am currently trying to make some tread for an atv tire. Now i want to emboss the tread from the spherical surface. When i attempt to wrap to the face it will not wrap. After id emboss, i would circular, as well as rectangular pattern the tread to cover the whole tire. Is there a way i can get this tread onto the tire? you can see the roundness in this provided picture: http://imgur.com/bfZ8RAj Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mefloump Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I would take a look at the samples provided with Inventor. If you select the samples project and navigate to Assemblies, Suspension, Components, Tire - 2. Open the part and see how they modeled their tire. The same method can be applied to your tire. I would use and extrusion instead of an emboss. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Circular pattern should do what you want as said above extrude is another way. You can always cheat and use a jpeg and wrap a picture of a tire around the wheel. I know you don't have Inventor 2017 but if you did you can use the new 3d sketch on face along with the sketch driven feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
