I see, thanks for the explanation. I've seen that function but not used it before.MadMatt wrote:He's using Solidworks (the software), but modelling with surfaces rather than solid volumes. Like if you were to model a coke can. Using solids you would do a cylinder filled with material, but using surfacing you would just make an empty (but closed) cylinder. Sorry for the crappy explanation but you get the idea I think.
Thanks for the comment! well it was more like a test the nose on the SD014. i didn't had something in mind. diffirent on the newer car. The new one has kind of a pelican nose. Thanks Madmatt for replying! I do use solidworks and the new one is indeed modeled with surfases.michaelclarke wrote:Nice work! Looking forward to see where it's going.
The nose on the 'SD2014' (assuming the name) is interesting. I thought about a similar design; I'm assuming the lower stub is the actual crash structure and the very front section is a vanity panel of some sort? My idea was slightly different in that the lower stub part would be wider to try and replicate the pelican nose style nose.
I'd love to see more images of both the cars, especially that monkey seat you've developed this year haha.
What CAD package are you using, is solids short for SolidWorks?
Makes me want to have a go as well.
Yes i did. i guess i've made a mistake then the new car has a stepped floor maybe that has to do something with the mistake. Thanks for the reply. Well i've never used sketchup so i can't say which one is easier.RicME85 wrote:Did you follow the rulebook for the 2014 car? That rear shot shows the diffuser to be too high.
I have tried to use solidworks, have watched numerous videos but cannot figure it out at all. Would much prefer to us SW instead of Sketchup but the basic almost MS Paint way of drawing in SU makes it much easier to use IMO.
