I have had the most difficulty with getting wheels to align properly when attaching bolts (standard, motor, or wobble) to them. I have tried using front view and grids, but I can't always hit them with the bolt in the center. They end up being wobbly. What should I do to avoid the wobbly wheel problem?

Circles and the like actually have this neat little feature of having an actual center lock on. If you move the bolt around the middle a little bit, before placing, you'll notice that the bolt seems to gravitate to a position, this is the direct center. Once your bolt snaps into place, you know you have the right spot. Just be a little more careful when placing them, and you'll find the center easy enough and avoid wobbly wheels

>:U YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THIS ANNOYS ME. its like you're trying to make a car or something, and you put on the wheels. next thing you know, your car is bouncing up and down. so annoying. anyways... i would say just know exactly ( i mean EXACTLY ) where youre putting the bolt, and have extremely good precision. it's very hard to do, but its possible to pull off. once you get it a few times, you'll get the hang of it. the bolts actually kind of center themselves, too, but its tough to keep it exactly where it places it. even the slightest movement makes it off set. also, a little luck never hurt anyone especially with this kind of thing.

What happens is the size of circle that you are using probably won't line up with the grid in the center. Not a problem!! When that happens, simply turn off the grid and the bolt should snap to the center once you get it near. ...that is if you have the wheel in front. If you have the wheel in back then you have to eyeball it and turning the front layer material to glass can help. ** Edit.. figures everyone else posted and beat me! lol!!

What I've always done is made a circle that is the size of one block of the Big Grid, then switch to Medium Grid and place the bolt, which will rest at the point where the two grid lines meet. I've never had any problems doing it this way.

I've never had any problems doing it this way. Hmmm... I might try that for times when I place wheels on the back side of an object. Thanks!

Okay, thanks everyone. I knew there were some things to do that would help. I will try it all out later this evening.
