draw a straight length of chain?


Recommended Posts

For 2d, draw a couple links, make it a symbol, duplicate along path.

For 3d, model a link (eg 2d circle, 2d oval path, then extrude along path). Duplicate the link, rotate and move it so it links with the 1st one. Make them a symbol, DAP.

Thanks much Benson!! Just wasn't sure if there were pre-existing symbols out there, but this approach makes good sense. Thanks again.

(Except I used the rounded rectangle tool to create the path object, worked great.)

Oh, and ? and I knew better but I was "in a hurry!" ? I should have made one individual link a symbol before creating my other various length symbols - silly me
