he means treads. As in tank treads.

And to answer your question, I don't think that Invento can even DO treads. All the objects you can add motion constraints to move or rotate, but do not deform. A tread must be constantly changing its shape to move around, unlike a wheel, gear, sprokect, rotating arm, pneumatic cylinder, etc. that only have to MOVE.

So I would say model it and put it on, and then move the wheels that drive the tread and tell your team to pretend that the tread is moving also.
