Blueprint Modelling on NX4
Blueprint Modelling on NX4
(OP)
Hi there everyone,
This is going to sound like a really idiotic question, but is it possible to design a vehicle from a set of blueprints in NX4?
I am new to the world of UGS, and have no clue where to start... Checked the NX4 Cast documents but have come up dry there.
Hope to hear from anyone soon.
Regards
Jared

1) Vehicle yes. ( and no, complex freeform shapes such as automotive body panels are very difficult to recreate based on blueprints.)
2) Could you try explain what it is you want to do ?

@Toost: I am trying to model my car's body so that I can design wheel arch flares to create a mold to make them out of carbon fibre. And after that to design custom adjustable suspension pieces as well, to get them cnc machined.
@jerry: If Autodesk 3DS Max 2010 counts as CAD (i'm guessing it doesn't), then yes. If not, then no...
Thanks for the responses guys!

The next suggestion, would be a 3D scan of the fender areas.
