Motor & Pull Start Modeling Process

1. Create the Motor Cylinder:
   
   • Create a cylinder with 18 sides.
   • Position and scale it based on reference images.
   • Convert it to an editable poly and drag the back face to extend.
2. Shape the Bottom Section:
   
   • Add a loop and extrude the bottom down.
   • Flatten the bottom section and adjust it to match references.
3. Create the Side Extension:
   
   • Select the side face and extrude outward to form the motor housing.
   • Use the scan data to align the extension properly.
   • Apply a shell modifier for thickness.
4. Refine the Object Fit:
   
   • Adjust object positioning to ensure proper fit.
   • Apply auto-smooth to correct shading errors.
5. Create the Motor Standoffs:
   
   • Identify motor standoff positions in reference images.
   • Create a metal bar beneath the motor using a box.
   • Model two cylindrical standoffs with a Y-shaped connector.
   • Align the standoffs properly and mirror them using symmetry.
6. Create the Pull Start Shroud:
   
   • Extract the rear circular face and create a new object.
   • Add thickness with a shell modifier and position it properly.
   • Extend the shroud outward, flatten it, and adjust based on references.
   • Chamfer the top edge for added realism.
7. Model the Pull Start Cone:
   
   • Extract the central circle as a new object.
   • Add a lip with an extrusion and inward scaling.
   • Adjust the cone shape and align it to the scan.
8. Apply Boolean Cuts to the Shroud:
   
   • Save the project before Boolean operations.
   • Create two boxes for the cuts on the shroud.
   • Ensure proper face alignment before applying Boolean subtraction.
   • Convert to an editable poly and clean up the resulting topology.
9. Refine the Pull Start Handle:
   
   • Create a box for the handle.
   • Extrude side faces outward to form the T-shape.
   • Add a cylinder at the bottom and align it to the handle.
   • Chamfer edges for a rounded effect.
   • Weld unnecessary edges and collapse the central vertices.
10. Attach the Handle to the Motor:
    
    • Position the pull start at an angle.
    • Ensure proper clearance from surrounding geometry.
11. Add Cut Separations to the Motor:
    
    • Use Swift Loop to add edge loops for material separation.
    • Select and detach front and middle black plastic sections as separate objects.
12. Create Supporting Cylinders & Bolts:
    
    • Place four cylinders as bolt attachments.
    • Adjust size and positioning.
    • Mirror them to the opposite side using symmetry.
13. Finalize Rear Metal Bar:
    
    • Identify the correct positioning behind the wheel.
    • Duplicate the front metal bar and standoff components.
    • Align properly using the scan data.
