Initial model test found a couple of 'slivers'. Would
be OK to have chosen [Discard], but is generally unwise to do that at this
stage. Can always [Test Model] later. |
| [JOIN]ed a bunch of parts |
 |
Join or Form New Parts in a logical way. IE. fenders,
hoods, bumpers, etc. Remember that the program will decide what a
surface is on each part. |

Not pretty! This is where you need to think. Do
we Adjust the grid, or cut the surfaces? |
Adjusted Grid 35,0,0 on the hood
Adjusted Grid 45,0,20 on Lt HeadLgt
Adjusted Grid 45,0,-20 on RtHeadLgt
CalcDep V-norms on fenders
Cut the rest WRT Normals |

Went back to Select Tab and Joined some obvious surfaces (eg.
flat top on bumper) Was careful to pick Z facing one first - since others
inherit from first.
Went pack to Prep1 Tab hit...
[SET READY 2 PREP 2]
{notice White (soft) edge between fender surfaces - indicates disconnect}
{note little hot spot on hood}
{note busy-ness where light, bumper, and fender come together} |

Use some imagination to get it to look like
this... Start with:
[SURF]
[ALL]
[WELD SOFT EDGES]
{may have to change Weld-Join Length to make it weld, or keep it from
'melting' it}
Use [JOIN VERTICES] and [BLACK HOLE JOIN] to collapse little hot spots

[SET READY 2 MESH]
Mesh Size 2
[MESH ALL]
Plus a little filling and killing to fix where the mesher got confused. |
