Rotating Brushes Conclusion

Now top off the blades with a cylinder brush in the
curve  menu.  Make  sure  that  you  use  'cap'  then
'normal'  to  cover  each  end of the new  brush. Now
create  a  duplicate  brush  above  but  narrow  the 
width and increase the height to create the ceiling
bar.   Be  sure  to  cap  the  new  brush.

   

Now   make  the base of  the fan  by  using  the curve
option  on  the  tool  bar  and  select  cone.  Remember
that  you  have  to have  a brush selected before using
brush primatives.  Put normal caps on the new brush.
Save, compile, and launch Q3.

   

Nifty, eh?  Just imagine all of the crazy combinations
that you could use this basic function for.  If you'd like
to download this object I have it as a prefab model here.
