Paul,
Do you have any drawings w/ the basic dim's from just a 3-view
2-d
sketch/drawing?

I have the equipment to draw my own 3d but don't have the
dimensional
details.  Or possibly a web link to such info?  I'm actually
looking for
a
20b but could start w/ a 13b.

Thanks in Advance
Jarrett Johnson


Rhino puts out a variety of 3 view 2D drawing formats. What CAD
program
do you use? It also outputs several IGES and DXF formats.

Paul, I'll take anything you've got. I can open; IGES, Sat, Dxf,
Dwg,
Parasolid, ACIS, VDAFS,VRML, STL, Catia, Pro E, UGII,
Inventor,Solid Edge,
Cadkey...  and a couple others  ;-)  DXF or IGES are probably the
better
ones.  I'm using Solid works '04 so if you can save it as that,
thats even
better. Unfortunatly, I can't open Rhino files, I tried to open
some of my
old [6 months old] ones and it just dun work.... maybe some future
release
will have that capibility?

Thanks Again
Jarrett

How about 3dm?
You want everything or just the bare engine. I have well over a gig
of Rhino 3D drawings.

Jarret, Here are some Solid Works (2001 ver) parts for the 13B if
your interested.  I haven't completed the whole engine yet, I will
in time.  This includes the center housing and rotor housing and an
injector.  These may not be constructed in the most efficent way,
I'm still learning Solid works so use them how ever you'd like.  I'm
currently working on the front housing and front cover.

Tom sent some sltprt files and then some pdf files all of which were
too large
to publish so I converted the pdf files to jpg's and here they are.
Nice work tom.

Hey Tom,

How do you like solid works? Any Idea how it compares to Solid Edge? I
currently use Unigraphics, but I'm looking at the mid range solid modelers.

Whats the price on SW?

Thanks,

Monty
