Hi, All.

This should open up a can of worms. For you aerospace guys (others may respond as well, but this is more of an industry issue), how do you normally represent rivets? The way I see it, we have several options:

a) Show only the point
b) Show only the centerline
c) Show only the point and centerline
d) Model only the head (button)
e) Model rivet complete with grip length

I am looking at issues like BOM management, assembly size, linking, and modeling complexity.

Thanks.

Ken.
