Motor Mounting
Mount a motor: construction geometry for the motor, a bolt circle with Circular Pattern, and an arc outline that clears it.
01
Where We Are
Your plates so far have been structural. This exercise mounts a motor: you'll lay the motor out with construction geometry, place its bolt circle with a Circular Pattern, then turn that layout into a real mounting plate.
02
Build the Motor Mount
Mount a motor with a bolt circle — construction geometry first, real geometry around it.
- Draw the motor body as a construction circle, then a central cutout.
- Place ONE bolt hole on the bolt circle and Circular Pattern it around.
- Arc the outline around the holes; dimension from the tube for clearance.

Complete?
Add the mount onto your superstructure, then try a second motor on another tube.
- Reuse the same three-step workflow.
- Keep the bolt circle and cutout matching your motor.
Recap
MOTOR MOUNTING
- Construction geometry = the motor
- Circular Pattern the bolt holes
- Arc outline clears the motor
