Paul,  I think  you were going to send me an Auto Cad drawing of the
fuel rail.   I can use that when you get the time.  Thanks,  Jerry

OK will send by private email as even the zip file is too big to
publish.

Don't do more drawings.   I can easily get the dimensions   from what
you have already sent.  Thanks,  Jerry

I knew you would figure it out :) Dimensions on drawings are for people
without computers and NC tools. Now a days a 3D like that is fed into a program that generates
a NC machine tool program with out any one ever actually looking at the dimensions until
the part comes out the other end :) It was Monty that convinced me of that a couple of
years ago.

It is a good thing too as for some strange reason dimensions don't come across
well in either ACAD dwg, iges, or dxf. IMHO it has to do with the dimension fonts different
drawings like Rhino ACAD Solid Works etc. etc. choose as standards.

On the other hand if you are making a part by hand  you need a drawing
with dimensions in front of you.

BTW that transparent rendering was done by a render program called Tree Frog.
The early standard render program for Rhino does not do a very good job
on  transparencies. Tree Frog and about five other render programs now come
with Rhino.
