Does anyone know where I can purchase a file to do a round horse racing game?
Thank you!
Looks to be simple enough to draw up — it’s just some circles and lines — what size do you want to make it? Out of what material? (thickness?)
There are some files for similar games/the necessary techniques at:
If you get stuck drawing it, put up the file here and we’ll walk through it with you.

The problem is we are looking for a round one - 28" or so and I don’t know where to start
Set up the file:
Draw in the circle:
Then source an image on this — there is an article at:
Then begin drawing in the various elements:
Since there are 12 rows, create an array of 12 squares and circles for the beginning point:
Reposition as necessary:
and duplicate to create beginning/end points:
Then draw in circles for the course:
Then draw in a square to “notch” the circles — this will be easier with a center square (or one could reduce the size of the grid):
Select all the circles and the new square:
then use Trim Vectors:
to remove what is not wanted:
continuing until one arrives at:
OK
If need be, restore the outermost circle:
Probably the lines should have ended at the mid-point of the squares, this is easily done by selecting all of the arcs:
and going into Node Edit mode to remove the begin/end nodes:
Done
Then it is simply a matter of selecting a circle from a begin/end point and using Circular Array:
to duplicate as needed around the course…
Count the circles on the track and select a set which have the same number:
and repeat for each:
and if need be go back and repeat since one fewer was necessary.
Attached as a v8 file.
