Hi Brian,
You are right on the planes. I went back in and fixed them in moi3d also closed up the polylines. I usually close all the lines in TurboCad as It has the provision of selecting duplicate lines. I wish moi3d did. I then exported via pdf file, checked it and opened it in Vcarve. That came in clean and cut really nice.

The only problem I have exporting pdf is I can only import to Vcarve. That puts my CoralCad and TurboCad out of use. so I have to re-orient to 0,0 using Vcarve. That's ok as there i can clean up duplicate lines

I think the big culprit was as you said " not planar " Is there a way to align without re-drawing? I'm presently on F8 with 3 to go.

I'm doing this fast so I might not be clear. I'm thinking faster than I tyoe.

Here's a couple attachments to help clear it up.

You sure have been a big help. I'm new so I need it.

Thanks again.

Hi Marv,

> Is there a way to align without re-drawing?

Yeah one way is to switch to a view where you're viewing the curves edge-on to their plane, and then use the corner sizing grips to squish it down until you get "flat snap" engaged. There's an animated example here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3378.4

You can also draw a plane surface and use Construct > Curve > Project to project curves onto that plane surface.

Hi Marv

Very cool fuselage you are modeling!
Please update us down the road.

I think the Moi dxf file export is excellent also.
