Hi all I'm new to this forum and to using ViaCAD. I love the software thus far find it easy to use, however Iran into a snag when trying to extrude a tire and add tread around a curve. Are their any tutorials to do this?
Thanks Again,
Brian

You're going to have to work out your own method. One possibility would be to create a strip with the tread pattern as a repetitive protrusion , bend it into a hoop and subtract a revolved shape to give the rounded profile.

I Figured it out. The initial drawing I did wasn't connected properly. This is a sample of what I was able to achieve. Using the polar duplicate with the center point of the rim was how I was bale to reproduce and space evenly the thread pattern. No I will be able to produce a more complicated pattern accurately.
