new project....help me along

[spider007]

yes that fixed the zoom, but my problem was scrolling.....I'll see tonight if I can steal a better mouse from another room.

93 files completed so far. This is turning into an assambly nightmare. I'll post a picture maybe at the end of the week when i get most of that together.....

So far, i have only one part that i have a problem modeling.....it's a 3/4 id tube that was squished on one end down to .306 inbetween wals. The tube was sloted inbetween the squished walls and a u shaped piece was inserted in and welded. I tried modeling it using multi section solid, but it just didn't look right. I'll see if i can scan the part of the print later tonight and post it on here.

Spider....

To make it easier for other readers, please create a new thread for the squished tube problem and any other new topics that come up.

Let's continue on with this thread to keep up with your progress on the SE5A Scout project. It's looking good so far, and many of us (myself included) are anxious to follow your progress with it.

no problem.... i guess it would be kinda nice having a record of the whole progres (especialy with the project this big)

well here is the update.....not a whole lot done in the few days that passed since i started this.....

so far, about 95 CATparts in my folder.

getting it assambled, that's another storry My goal is; by monday, have it somewhat recognizable (most of the fuselage main parts assambled into it's proper position)

I played around a little bit with the sheet metal workbench.....i started off not liking it very much....but the more i used it the better it got.

i had 7 brackets that look like the one below, with catia it was easy, change the angle and save it...

The correct way to save your product making sure all yours parts follow on to the cd/dvd or what ever is first to file/save all then file/send to.

good to know david.

well, i've put in about 10 hours last week......soo many brackets.....started assembling them in yesturday....lots of fun.....

I don't really have much to show-off, because i do this in my spare time (when i have some), and a lot of time is spent reading the prints and trying to figure out what goes where and how...

this is gona take a lot longer then i thought it would, and it'll be bigger pain in the side then i thought it would.....

Not fully constrained.....I'm starting to find out that the drawing don't match what i'm getting in cad....And from what the guy that is builidng it is telling me, it was all compiled from different sources and it had to be matched to the plane. So now i'm tweeking (sp?) things.

STILL NOT FULLY CONSTRAIND.
