3D orbits
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 1:21 am
I am making a 3D model of the inner planets and their orbits for the students. It is to show them why NASA can only launch missions to Mars in a small window every 2 years.
Here is what I am having trouble with. I need to use the follow path tool to make the orbits but follow path tool does not work on shapes, so I try to make a perfect circle vector but it seems I can not get the ends to make the correct curve.
Anyone have any idea on doing this or maybe a different way to get the 4 planets to orbit the sun?
Thanks
Stephen
