Hello. I have been following your channel for a while and it taught me how to work with mesh which is so awesome. I am currently working on a DC3 model and I'm having a hard time getting the cockpit and nose right. I tried mesh, lofting and nothing worked. Is there any was you could help me. BTW, perhaps you could do a video on lofting and explain what the different errors mean and how to correct them. I tried to get answers from a few forums but no luck so far.
What type of file did you start with? It doesn't appear to be an STL file although once opened the body appears to be a surface. Converting STLs to bodies is less than satisfactory as the resulting body has many facets, which are unmanageable unless reduced in count.
I am also curious as to the file type you imported. If you were going to cover or skin the fuselage in balsa sheeting (1/16") could you first offset the models skin by 1/16in (millimenters) first, then model the former?
@@cadbuildflyrc3784 Do you convert it to a body or simply use the mesh as-is? If the latter, perhaps that's why you had to trace the profiles in your sketches instead of doing an intersection?

Send me the file and I will help you with it.
@@cadbuildflyrc3784 I uploaded the file on Facebook.

I started with an STL file.
@@dennismiller6131 Yes you could offset by 1/16th.

@@karlheinz1695 I use the mesh as is, with the mesh tools in fusion 360.
