I am getting closer.
I suspect Rhino is buggy. It does some strange
and unpredictably things some times.
I need to tighten up the radii and convert from
round to oval which I still have not figured
out how to do. The wire frame gives me an idea
where the part lines go.

Rhino is not that buggy. It is probably your display card or driver that is
buggy. If you want to see parting lines use the analysis feature draft
analysis. You set the cplane to the parting plane and run draft analysis and
you get the parting line. Here it shows the probable extend of laminar flow
on a fuselage, or at least the best you can get. After the color change the
air will experience an adverse pressure gradient and become turbulent.

I'll try that. Thanks.
I am running it on my IBM Thinkpad 560x. An IBM computer buggy? I don't think so:-)
