I decided to try modeling and learning sketchup. I can see it will be challenging. Here is where I started with a f16xl. Anybody who can offer any help on the subject is welcome to help. This will be where the dummies like me will attemp to learn how to go through and learn how to make a model in sketchup. Air X has offered to stop in and give me some pointers so I hope the rest of the CAD guys will too. Im not even sure where to start. It would be nice if Air X or someone could give the basic rundown of steps on how it should be done from importing a file in a 3 view to tracing to getting it to the printer or possibly to a laser cutter. I all ready can import 3 views and have been tracing some planes,messing around with layers and such.Well I sat here all night and have lost the latest Alpha Jet which I had traced the top and side view,in one button pushed accidently I think Ilost everything
But will start again.
