Adding a middle web

- [Instructor] Okay, so that last thing we're going to do in here is create another bit of material that's going to fit inside the middle down through here. And I'm going to use the paths tools to help me there as well. So what I'm going to do is we've got one skit switched on here, but there's another one up here that we want to turn on from our curved sketches, and what else do we want to do there? I think that's good, for what we're after. So we'll jump into hatch and we will say loft. And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to turn the body off for the minute, 'cause we don't want to see it. And from profile one we're going to start from here and come down and select these, and just grab that one there, and so okay if we want to add another one in, in profile two will be this one. Then we want to create a new body. Okay so once it's in there, the next thing you want to do is come back into our offset, slice plane that we had which is five millimeters up from the other slice line, so it's where we're going to slice the model, and this is where our other things are what we want this to do is stop a bit above. So in the text tools is the trim tool, and what we can say is we want to use this plane to trim and we want to remove this bit of surface. And it'll chop that off and that's great, then we turn this guy off. And when we come back in to turn to turning our model back on, there will be a little bit of a path sitting in here that matching up nicely down here as well. So there's one little command that we can look at back in the modeling tools, and that is thicken. So if I use thicken and pick this surface, I can then say I want to thicken in a symmetric direction and the thickness will be one, and I want it to join in as well I don't want to create a new thing. And then what that'll do is it'll just blend all these things together, so that'll actually make this end piece a lot stronger now. And I'm going to add these web pieces in down the rest of the model in the next movie.
