71). Right now the
object is turned inside out.
3. Go to the Parameters rollout and under the Align heading click the Max button. It??™s a
knob! Now, that is more like it. You just had to change the alignment of the axis so
the lathe revolution would be correct.
4. Rotate the perspective view so you can see the top of the knob. You should notice a
strange artifact. To correct this, check the Weld Core box under the Parameters
rollout for the lathe.
That??™s it! Check out Figure 4.72 for a look at the lathed knob. By using Splines and
Lathe, you can create all sorts of surfaces for your models. In the next section, you will
resize the knob, position it, and copy it to fit on the drawers.
If step 3 does not work properly for you, try clicking Min instead of Max under the Align heading.
When you are creating a line, where you begin to create that line and in what order you
place the vertices (clockwise or counterclockwise) are both important. This example drew the
knob??™s profile line in a clockwise direction.

Eeek! That isn??™t a
knob at all.

Now that you have a knob, you may need to adjust it and make
it the right size.
