    Tutorial - Hinge - Free rotation hinge (Skill: Advanced)

    How to use hinges - 4 wheel vehicle

    1) Create base frame (ramp in pic 1)

    2) Create 4 wheels (pic 2)

    3) Create free rotation hinge (tools category) between wheel 1 and base frame (pic 3-4)

    4) Glue wheel 1 to free rotation part 1 (right part in pic 4)
    - Select wheel
    - Press up for object properties window
    - Press glue
    - Select free rotation part 1


    5) Glue base frame to free rotation part 2 (left part in pic 5)
    - Select frame
    - Press up for object properties window
    - Press glue
    - Select free rotation part 2


    6) Repeat 3 times (NOTE. You need to hold LB for sub-selection, you will need it while attaching base frame to other free rotation hinges)

    Edit. And also all parts needs to be physics enabled. (Frame and wheels)

    put physics on all the wheels and ramp
    attach the outside rotation to the wheels and the inside rotation to the ramp

    For some reason I'm still having some trouble with this. I can glue my first wheel to the hinge and then the base to the hinge and that works fine, but when I try to glue the base to any other hinge something goes wrong. I set up the other three wheels like I had done to the first one and glued them to the rotation hinge but I can't get the base to stick to them. I hold the LB after selecting the base then I click on one of the second hinges and it will not stick like the first one did. What exactly am I doing wrong?

    You need to hold LB and select the base to glue it after you have already glued it once

    Wow do I feel dumb....

    This whole time I was holding LB then (while still holding it) selecting the 2nd rotation part. Thanks for the help.

    I must be dumb... i still can't get this to work.

    Could someone add when I have to press LB and when I release LB to the walkthrough posted above? Take me through it wheel by wheel if you can...

    thanks!
