OK, what do you think of the secondary? If it's ok, I was thinking of texturing the bottom bay...what do you think? Right now she comes in at 2152 polies.

Oooh! Ooooh! Gimmie! I like! *grin*

This is looking good, Sandman, and thank you very much for attemping construction for me. I really appreoicate it. Beginning to take shape very nicely, so I can't wait to see the final product! (but, of course, I will...*smile*)

Thanks also to MP for highlighting the differences.

Keep on with the updates!

Hey, no problem, Sandman.

I've waited this long for her, I can wait another few weeks. I'm just trying to strike the balance between being too pushy and completely disinterested, so let me know if I cross the line.

Still looking forward to seeing more of her!

Hopefully it won't take weeks lol. :P I reshaped the aft end of the secondary...looks closer...having a hard time getting the lower bay cutout...leaves it empty. Anyone with suggestions on how to do it without boolean would be appreciated. Here's a pic showing the reshaped hull...

Boolean 101  rofl....

If your using the Boolean Tool and it leaves a nasty Hole then its because you have meshing errors... Normally an vertice overlap or a loose face or somthing.... these can be identified by running the STL Checker in the modifier List.. it will identify them by giving the errors a red border.... you can then target weld the problem errors.. make sure their are no empty faces.... as a boolean on an primitive object with one face empty can lead to hollow cutouts.. One you have fixed all errors.. run the checker again and keep repeating this process until you have no errors.

Then collapse the STL from the modifier stack and convert it to  poly or mesh then run your boolean again. ;)

Alternatively leave the hole where it is.. select the outside of the border of the hole hold shift then drag into the model... follow this by capping the hole and the shape will be made... but the errors will still be there if you need to run the boolean again.. but its much quicker!!  ;D

If you have problems email the mesh to me and I'll fix her up for you and send it back..

Hope this helps Sandy buddy  ;)

Hey Sandman, its really looking good and a lot like the Schematic.  The only thing I can think of that might be a tad off is the Bridge.  It looks just slightly too small in your mesh.  Can anybody else confirm my opinion on this?

Sent the mesh to markyd...i can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I run the stl checker, correct the errors and still empty space after boolean :smackhead: ...then I tried the other method and must not understand cause it didn't work either :help:. As soon as I get it back it should be pretty quick, only a couple 3 days at most. ;)
