Airplane steps


Import (merge) wheels from truck to save time + unnecessary modelling


Use wheels as size reference - create cylinder to fit around wheel - editable poly- edit vertices to create chamfer -


remove bottom geometry and bridge


Clone and place around second wheel - attach to first cylinder


Remove unwanted geometry (polygons in polygon tool) and use bridge tool (in edge mode) to join to arches


after component is use turbo smooth to enhance finish then collapse. Warning screen tells you that once collapse the external features cant be removed (in this instance turbo smooth), so make sure model is correct



Extend back arch using extrude to create geometry for symmetry


Use symmetry to create opposite side of vehicle. Highlight auto stitch for the back to be automatically joined together



Create box - tools - array - array in 2 axes to create steps - create large see through boxes either side with excess geometry to be manipulated into railings



To create more realistic model, extrude cylinder - inset - extrude narrower cylinder to create hydralic stands for steps - attach all - all material
