XL Fuselage Drawing

that is a pretty big file, outside 1000m limits for this solidworks set up

Concur Scott.  Tried to pare it down a little bit and defeature it, but didn't have any luck with defeaturing any further without signficant effort.  Unsure Fusion 360s limits in this regard.  Since I only used it in a very generic 'mass' capacity, it worked for my purposes.  Hopefully it will suit kalazzerx purposes.

I have a copy of it but I have also been working on my own.  I found a decent VW model I have been adapting - the full block version is about done (90% solution) and from that, I want to create a cut block version.  Not sure how large my export would be but size in not an issue for me to share - I run my own nextcloud server so have lots of share capacity.  Will probably make it available shortly.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Tom Kyler here, new builder.  I too am performing a 3D 'virtual build' to help understand the plans and construction.  For those interested and software saavy, an alternative to Solidworks is Blender 3D, which is free and a relatively small download.  The learning curve is still required as would be expected with any new software, but I believe it is no more complex than Solidworks (which I use in my engineering day job).  Blender is NOT a CAD software, but rather a generic 3D/animation software...no history based or parametric modeling, but its ridiculously quick to build geometry for "what if" scenarios.  The following work I did in about 2 hours.  Note that I do use a CAD package (Vectorworks) to develop the design dimensionally from the plans...but then I use the CAD reference dimensions as inputs to Blender 3D.

Tom anychance you would share that file with me Im metric and find imperial difficult to work with. Jon
