Building the upper armature

“

- [Instructor] Chapter 5, 04, we're now going to build the upper armature, so that's the Bulb and Holder, so wherever you've saved that, bring that in. I've got mine in the 05 lamp and shade folder, and the Shade and Holder as well. So bring both of those in like so. Then we're going to move this onto that point. So with the move tool, we'll just grab that end of the guide, and move it to this end of the guide, and then with this still selected we'll move it up vertically on the blue axis 42 mil. Now the 42 mil is dependent on the length of this. This is 2 mil, and from that point to this point is 40 mil. If it's different, if you've got a slightly extended one of these then a slightly different position. Alternatively you can just move it from this point, so select that and move it from one of those nodes onto the surface. That will do the same job. Okay, so once we've got that selected, we have a little bit of a conundrum now because the shade holder is independent from the shade…
