Stand up teardrop

[mikeschn]

The other day I suggested to Nater that he come up with a stand up teardrop design... I remember too, that DeeBee's wife would also like a stand up design... so just for fun I whipped out a stand up design this evening...



And for those of you who have Cortona, here's a couple models you can rotate and study...

Here's the complete model...

and here's the model with the wall removed, so you can see the inside better...

P.S. I've got textures implemented today also... just hit the "study" button, and enjoy!!!

P.P.S. If you need the Cortona client to view the VRML (wrl) files above, you can download the MS InternetExplorer addin here...

I let Michelle sit down and read the last message. Then I told her to click on 1 of the wrl files...

The first thing she did was drive the teardrop off the page... She musta missed the part where I told her to do a "study". So she hit the "restore" button, and then the "study" button. Then it worked much better...

She liked everything except the black and white tile floor!!!

Great Fun Flying the drawing!

What do you use to make these virtual models?
I love it!

Any CAD program that makes solid models will work. I happened to finish this one up in IronCAD.

You can even d/l a screen saver that uses the .wrl files as the screen saver. Didn't figure out how to make it move by its self though

Man, I wish I knew how to do CAD work... so excellent.
Anyone know a good place online to learn???

IronCAD comes with an excellent help file and lots of tutorials...
