![]() ![]() The saved BB is displayed as a rectangular cuboid space, whose edges are shown as dashed lines. The Bounding Box submenu is a set of tools for saving and editing a BB, which is later used for scaling and aligning objects to a set of saved dimensions or coordinates. Also, if you have multiple objects in a complex model, and you’ve lost track of one of them, you can select it (via the Objects Menu) and then Center to find it again. If you work on a large model that has sort of “grown” off in one direction, you can quickly center it in the workspace again. Tools | CenterĬenters objects in the workspace based on the BB of all selected items. For example, by using a series of Aligns, you could get wheels on a model, that have become misaligned, back into proper positions relative to each other. This can be useful to line objects up once they have moved off center. Although the selection mode may be face, edge or vertex when the command is invoked, it converts to the objects involved, and does not align vertices, edges or faces to an axis on the same model. The command works on objects which are moved without rotation or scaling. For example, if the Z axis is chosen then the selected objects will be aligned along the same Z axis. The center of each object is aligned along one, two or all standard axes. A BB may be temporary – based on the current selection – or saved for use in later moving or scaling operations.Īligns all selected objects based on the center of the aggregate BB of the selection. One of the useful concepts is the Bounding Box (BB) which is a rectangular cuboid space, whose faces and edges align with the standard axes, and whose center point is the intersection of the internal diagonals. I really need to learn Fusion 360.The Tools menu contains functions that will interact with other Wings 3D commands. Sketchup doesn't easily allow for smooth circles, so some parts can look a bit boxy. ![]() Some parts, since they're designed in sketchup, are not as smooth as they could be. However, this model is so heavy that I'm not sure a plastic gear at scale will hold it up or could easily break off. A landing gear would look great on this model. Someone with time on their hands could design a canopy that encloses the full cockpit. The canopy looks ok, but is looks off being open on a place with no landing gears deployed. Here are some things I think could be improved on: 1. Just check to make sure it will fit on your bed. ![]() I also uploaded the full model in case you'd like to print it at one piece. One is split in half for easier printing and size. I have two options for the cockpit included. Or if they don't turn out they should be sanded off. I would suggest finer printing or supports on fuselage 2 and 3 for those parts to print properly. I didn't take the time to get those fixed when I printed mine. Some of the shroud pieces that extend off of the fuselage in parts 2 and 3 are a bit thin. Even so, you can fill in those gaps with filler and prime over them if needed. If your bed isn't fully level, you'll have gaps in between the parts even though they're snapped together. I'd suggest printing the first two parts of the wing and two clips to see how close the snapped together parts are. For the best fit possible with the clips, your bed needs to be as level as possible. If I had it to do all over, I would make sure the cockpit and fuselage fit together more seamlessly. You can see on my photos that I used a lot of filler and didn't do a great job of sanding it smooth. This will save a lot of time during sanding, priming and painting. Take most of your time fitting the cockpit to the fuselage at the edges where they meet. Print the cockpit at a higher resolution. If you want to download it and edit it, go here: I really like the clips If you want to integrate them in to your next model check them out here: If you plan on printing this, here are some tips: 1. The largest part is Fuselage 3 at 172mm across. You'll need 38 clips for both wings and 16 for the fuselage. ![]() I also used glue on mine for added strength. The wings and fuselage clip together while the back fins and engine attach via posts. This model is really big - 45" x 40" but actually pretty easy to print and a lot of fun to put together. The A-10 has always been my favorite fighter jet and I knew it had to be next on my modeling/printing list. ![]()
