Welcome back to the "SolidWorks x LEGO - Build and Learn" series! In this episode we tackle the most complex and rewarding part of the project: the TYRE. Follow along as I walk you through detailed modeling of the tyre and hub, including advanced techniques like patterned features, offset mirroring, and embossed text. With this lesson, you’ll complete the assembly and bring the Lego model to life! Don’t forget to share your progress in the comments and let me know how the series has helped you. Let’s build and learn together!
