Here is the challenge.
  Start with this data and do a 3D cowl
  for an RV10 that looks like this  one using what
  ever 3D program you have.

  It must be rendered.
  Assume a 12 inch spinner.
  It must be to scale.

  This is all the info you have to go on.
  Assume max width is 41 inches.

  I will be the judge and I will abstain
  from doing one now.

  You must submit a iges or stp file.

  All the guys touting their favorite 3D program on here
  so far must participate or they will be vilified and ridiculed :)
  In other words put up or shut up :)

 Paul, heres a quick kick at the cat..

 I am going to change the rules here just a bit.
 You must submit one of the three file extensions.
 .iges .stp or .stl I prefer .stp.

 These will be kept private. I will use them
 to render top view, side view, front view and perspective for
 purposes of judging each entry.

 You must also submit at least one rendered jpg.

 At the end of the week I will render and  publish 4 views on
 each entry. I will not judge the winner. The readers will judge
 the winner by voting after they see the renderings.
 The judging criteria is how close the submissions look like
 the stock RV10 cowl.

 This will even the playing fields as the same rendering
 program will be used for each entry. This is not a contest
 of rendering programs.

 Jeff is allowed to submit another entry due to the fact
 I already rendered and published his entry and the rules
 have changed.

Paul, would you like me to re-submit in a different format? I
think I'd sent
a parasolid but I can send it as something else?

Jarrett

.stp and .iges both. I'll check and see which one Rhino 3 likes
the most.

Paul Lamar

Paul heres the IGES version btw were you able to open the X_T
[parasolid] file?

Jarrett

I did not try the parasolid. I don't think Rhino 3 handles it but
I will check and let you know. Thanks for the iges and step
