Having issues making tires

[darkwolf29a]

and wheels and round stuff beyond the basic cylinder.

I have found a tires tutorial online, via youtube. But, unfortunately when I watch it, there is no sound. And, since it's youtube, there is no really good picture quality as well.

I have followed along, as far as I can with it, but...I reach a point, after I've created the arcs I want, where I cannot get the a straight geometry to go away without losing solid surfaces. What I end up with is two walls rising out of a circle, but no corresponding horizontal surface to use with the follow me tool.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Maybe this will help.

At SCF we had an enquiry about this, I made a tutorial and I have two tires/tyres available for download also.

Solo, thank but that doesn't answer my question.

I've tried to follow your tutorial over there, but cine it's on youtube, it's too blurry for me to see all the little changes you have made.

That's why I am looking for something I can read, or something that would be bigger on my screen, so that maybe I can follow it along.

Thanks
