Anyone have a quick tutorial on how to make a grommet? Having issues with the center part.

You can easily do this with the revolve tool.

1. sketch the profile of the grommet.
2. draw a revolve axis
3. use **Tools/Revolve**

I put together a short video on the very basic interaction.

We also put together a nice tutorial on the **Revolve** tool, I linked this as well. Claas Kuhnen walks you through the essentials, and more.

Hope this helps.
