hey stiglr,

I intend to use it in x-pane, and maybe use it as my first msfs aircraft.

I have made some progress with the nose intake. it was all one object. originally I had a mirror of the other side and used the knife plugin to slice the surfaces. Corners and stuff all fell on one surface (so no slicing) so I had to:-

1. cut away that surface.
2. subdivide 2-3 times.
3. knife again.
4. delete all surfaces and most of the vertices until only the vertices defining the correct surface shape are left.
5. make new surface using a polygon, snapping relevant vertices together.
6. delete old vertices.
7. merge new and old objects.

phew lot of work huh? things would be soooo much easier if we could project lines onto surfaces, or create a polyline where a knife object and object to be knifed intersect.

The model is accurate enough for my purposes (and with the information I have!)

I've tried welding vertices before but it didnt seem to make a difference...perhpas its just because the two surfaces slope away from each other....

cheers
