|  | Now, unhide everything, you should have something that looks similar to this: Now when I viewed everything a few things were out of line and the barrels needed extending back. So I pulled them back and moved everything into line. Ok, as I promised we'll so that groove, hide everything except the main part you just did. Select the following sections, select each part individually, if you don't, it won't groove right, you'll see if you've done it wrong. If you didn't extrude it up, you should select the same shape area it just wont be the top layer and wont make any difference, note its also only three sections. With it all selected click the extrude BUTTON, don't drag it, even though nothing will happen. Nothing will happen, that's because instead of extruding and dragging, its just extruded it nowhere. What we need to do now is to scale it. Scale that selection approximately to the size of the groove, and now you will do a small trick very useful to get things level and connected. Firstly your selection should look like this: The trick is aligning on one axis. Select the top row of vertices and press Ctrl+Shit+Y, this will make them all level on the Y axis, do the same on the bottom ones if yours aren't level. Then align the selection with the edge of the groove. Again, press extrude. Then scale the selection IN on the front view, this will now give you your groove :D It should look like this now. now unhide and align the top of the pump with the groove, last image before we move on, and yes, this section is complete (finally, lot of work, you don't realize how long it took me to do this tutorial :P) Click 'Next to continue' <<< Back | Next>>> |  |
