bolt thingy
 

ok iv tryed to modle this bolt and i cant seem to get it to look wel like that. i was wondering if anyone coloud help?

Something like this?

narr mate thx anyways im trying to get that same shape of the bolt on the pic ( im not used to posting pics ) a:rolleyes: iv tryed to get the shape of that but im not quite sure how i would get it.

do you think you have like a more closer pic?

Which one do you need? The bolt that is connecting the two pipes? Or the smaller two?

Create a cylender, bevel one face in but on the same plane, then bevel it in again but hollow it out (to effectivly create a tube), now just drag some points in to create the star key. done.

srry i didnt make my self clear(my falut) i didnt know what it was so i persumed it was a knid of bolt thingy . It the big the thingy connected the two pipes.

Make a cylender, extrude the top, knife it a bit or weight patch it, freeze and bool the cut-outs.

You have to get a closer view to hundrstand the details and scales of each parts.
Here is a basic shape made with boolean and bevels.

I got this far on the bolt. If i had another extra half hour i would finish it but i have to go to work :(.

I have finished the bolt and this is what it looks like. My next post has the attached lwo file if you want it.
