🦵 Learn how to design complex spindle legs with square ends for your rotary projects in Aspire! In this advanced lesson, Kyle demonstrates various techniques to create unique leg designs, starting from a provided side profile. Discover how to prepare your vectors, utilize Aspire's rotary options and modeling resolution, and effectively use the "Two Rail Sweep" tool to extrude shapes. Kyle showcases multiple methods for transitioning from a round to a square profile, including adjusting base height, applying the "Merge Low" combine mode, and using the "Unwrap Vector" tool. He also shares tips for adding a draft angle for smoother transitions and creating robust tabs for holding your workpiece. This lesson provides a deep dive into Aspire's 3D modeling capabilities, perfect for crafting furniture legs, spindles, or any custom rotary piece.
