Hey everybody, I'm having trouble with designing a go kart. I have built the basic frame and cannot add wheels because it keeps thinking that I want to add a design to the frame. I need to know how to make a shape and set the depth axis so it will be a few inches from the frame.


 Description:
as you can see the program thinks I want the circle to be a hole in the frame rail but i need it to be a wheel and not touch the frame rail.

Is there any way to design parts than add them together after they are all designed. This is only the begining i will be designing suspension setups fabricating my own wheel hubs ect. This is just so much easier and effective than drawing on paper

The other option is to design the parts individually , export them then import them into another application to view them all together. I know the goal is to design and view in emachineshop, but it is an option.

"I received the parts I ordered and I am just stoked! They are exactly as I expected and will work perfectly for my project. Finding a machine shop to make the parts I need has been a big obstacle to my inventive efforts because the parts are often small and I don't need large quantities of them. This is my first transaction with eMachineShop and I ..."
