Step#8
From the Visual Style Toolbar Use Realistic to
Shade the Revolved Profiles
Step#9
Change Profiles to Color #255
Step#10
Move the Small Cylinder onto the Larger Cylinder
From the Modify Toolbar p- Move
Select Objects: p- Small Cylinder
(Enter)
Specify Base Point: p- pt#1 using (**** Center)
Specify 2nd Point of Displacement: p- pt#2 of Large Cylinder using (**** Quadrant)
(Ball-Key is now positioned as shown in Step#11)
3
Step#11 Subtract the Small Cylinder to form the Ball-Key
From the Modeling Toolbar p-Subtract
Select Solids and Regions to Subtract from
Select Objects: p- Larger Cylinder
Select Objects: (Enter)
Select Solids and Regions to Subtract
Select Objects: p- Small Cylinder
Select objects: (Enter)
Step#12
Extrude the Gear-Tooth Profile
From the Modeling Toolbar p- Extrude
Select Objects: p- Gear-Tooth Profile
(Enter)
Specify Height of Extrusion: t- 0.75
(Enter)
Step#13
Rotate 3-D the Gear-Tooth Profile
for Alignment onto the Larger Cylinder
From the Modeling Toolbar p- 3-D Rotate
Select objects: p- Gear- Tooth Profile

Specify base point: p- pt#1 using (**** Endpoint)
Pick a rotation axis: p- The “Y” Axis on the Grip Tool
(Green Axis (Y) turns Yellow when Chosen)
Specify angle start point: t- 90
(Enter)
Step#14
Move the Gear Tooth-Profile into Position on the Outer Cylinder
4
From the Modify Toolbar p-Move
Select Objects: p- Gear-Tooth
Select Objects: (Enter)
Specify Base Point: p- pt#1 using (**** Quadrant)
Specify 2nd Point of Displacement: p- pt#2 using (**** Quadrant)
Step#15

of the Larger Cylinder
From the Pull-Down Menu:
p- Modify
p- 3-D Operation
p- 3-D Array
Select Objects: p- The Tooth Profile
Select Objects: (Enter)
Enter the type of Array [Rectangular/Polar] <R>: t- P
(Enter)
Enter the Number of Items in the Array: t- 30
(Enter)
Specify the Angle to Fill <360>: (Enter)
Rotate Arrayed Objects: <Y>: (Enter)
Specify Center Point of Array: p- pt#1 using (**** Endpoint)
