Hi Neil, there are 3 surfaces in that file and they look like this:


So that's clearly not a result of mirroring, there aren't separate pieces across a center mirror line like a mirror operation would create.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mirrored though, was it the curves before building the surfaces? If you can post a file that is ready to repeat the mirror that you did that would help.

Yes I apparently had several drawings combined there - which is a bad habit I need to break - constantly redrawing and not deleting - anyway - started over and used the aligning tools as Ferguson suggested and it turned out great. I'll be aligning everything from now on. :)

That one is looking good Neil!

Hi
Your construction lines are curious and non symetrycal.
I don't understand why you want to do something complicated for this part of the model.
See also your curve Transition 2

Thanks for pointing out all my mistakes. This one is simpler and more symmetrical. I used MoI 3 and only the basic commands.

it's better but there's still a little problem with that curve junction.

Thanks. Maybe this is better.

entire frame curve is not straight (0,0007)
see my screen shot
but perhaps it's that you want

and the part is still not symmetrical

Yes - thanks very much.

Thanks for the tip - didn't apparently understand when you suggested it - found out today that I've been trying to use network where blend would be more appropriate.

This is the guitar in the CAD drawings posted earlier in this thread - finished it today. It features Semi-hollow, RMC synth access, piezo out, 3 hand wound in house pickups, master volume and tone, synth volume, 5 position mag selector, mag/piezo blend pot, program up and down switch, synth/both/piezo switch, semi-hollow ash body with Mary Kay Nitro finish, flame maple neck with birds eye maple fingerboard, gold fretwire, gold hardware, locking tuners . . . and more. This guitar also features the bridge plate modification for piezo saddle wires modeled in MoI.

On the road again!

Hi Neil, that has turned out great!

Nice Job!

New space ship guitar been fooling around with - thinking of calling it AFO Wing (area fifty one).

Very cool!! Very interesting concept!

Great !

Some models made with MoI over the last few months. . . The Blue rendering is a customer order - the red rendering is a modification with a traditional bridge route - just to have on hand. Both the red and blue guitars are semi-hollow so the model is made in three parts, chambered body, routed top and pickguard. The chambered body has a bridge pickup route modeled to suit either top. The other guitars are playing around with shields as we are building a stadium for the Raiders football team and our hockey team is the Golden Knights - both of which have shields in their logos. Thanks for taking a look. Should be milling these in next month.

The link is for a impromtu video showing the milling of this guitar modeled in MoI - thanks for looking. Just made it today. Will show it again after the finish is applied. Although not in the video the pickguard was milled with the same machine - made a mistake on this one but it's good for showing the idea.
