• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New SBD screens, lets change the mood a little

Colin,

Have you actually imported a CAD model into MAX before? I attempted it once with an Inventor model into MAX, and found the import process to be unsatisfactory. The model consisted primarily of lofted cross-sections with splines as guide rails, and on import the guide rails were clearly visible in the visual model. There were also some graphical singularities around complex geometries which I was only able to remove with a high mesh resolution. Have you found a satisfactory work around to this? The mathematical nature of CAD has always been more appealing (to me) than visual modeling, but I've not been able to find a way make it work.[/QUOTE

John, sent a PM. I think this should be done elsewhere seeing as it's not "my" thread nor is it relevant to the SBD.

thanks.

These things do tend to wander. For instance we have a whole set of forums for designers which seem to get ignored. I am involved in the Flight Dynamics one, but more such questions tend to show up in the general forums.

I hope you can continue this informative design discussion in one of them!

Cheers to all and I am happy to se a series of these historic planes being done! T
