To rotate the wheel correctly, first change the coordinate system to Local,
using the pop-up list on the toolbar. The wheel then rotates around its own
hub , which is the origin of its local coordinates.
Local Event
Particle Flow uses two types of
events on page 7770 : global on page 7801 and
local. All events in a
flow on page 7787 except the first are called local events,
because the
actions on page 7701 they contain take effect only while particles
are in that event. The
birth event on page 7728 is a special type of local event
that always comes immediately after a global event.
Lofting
A circle is lofted along a path to construct a tubular shape.
Lofting is an important method for 3D object creation. You create shape
objects to serve as a path and any number of cross-sectional shapes. The path
becomes the framework that holds the cross-sections forming your loft object.
